Judging
A professional photographer, Chris Barton, will judge the entries in the first five categories. At the November Annual General Meeting he will present a slide show of the winners and best submissions. At the AGM members will cast their vote for the best humorous submission.
Requirements and How to Submit
Please submit photos up to 4MB (roughly 1180 x 880 pixels) in .jpg format. The closer to 4MB the better, especially if selected for the slide show of best submissions.
Some basic editing of the submitted photo is permitted (including cropping, and minor adjustments to exposure, saturation, white balance, and contrast). But the intent is to recreate what the eyes saw, rather than distort reality.
To submit a photo, simply send it as an email attachment to photocontest@northshorehikers.org Please send only one attachment (photo) per email. To make two submissions, send two emails. In the subject line of the email please indicate the category, your first and last name. In the text describe the photo and include any other details.
For example, if you are Jane Doe, submitting a scenery picture taken in Yellowstone Park five years ago, include "category and first name and last name" in the subject line. For example,
To: photocontest@northshorehikers.org
Subject: Scenery Jane Doe
Body of the email: Mountains in Yellowstone Park, 2017.
If you submit a scenery picture taken on a North Shore Hiker trip this year, include
"NSH scenery and first name and last name" in the subject line. For example,
