MKNHS Annual Photographic Competition 2021
Due to the fact that we are unable to meet in person at the moment and the date for a return to the Cruck Barn is not yet certain, we have decided to run the competition via the Society’s website with voting by email. The process is explained below.
The competition is open to all members of the Society. Any non-members who would like to participate are welcome to join in order to take part (https://mknhs.org.uk/membership-2/ )
Digital images only can be entered.
Maximum size of image 2048 pixels by 1536 pixels.
They can be horizontal (landscape) or vertical (portrait) but the longest dimension must not exceed 2048 pix and the shortest dimension must not exceed 1536 pix. This equates to a 9MB image. A 4MB image can produce a good A4 print, which is what we have used in the past. Images must be submitted as MEDIUM quality jpg.
Each member may enter a maximum of 2 images per category. (That’s 8 images in total).
Please state the category of entry for each image and provide a brief caption for each photo stating when and where taken and species if known/relevant. If you submit 8 photos with one email, make sure it is clear which caption goes with each photo!
Please note that by submitting photos you are agreeing to your images being displayed on the Society website. Images displayed in the Society gallery after the competition will show attributed copyright.
The four categories are:-
- Birds
- All other animals, including mammals, fish, insects etc.
- Plants and fungi.
- Habitats, geological, astronomical.
This year, as foreign travel has been so restricted, images for all categories should have been taken in the UK between January 2020 and January 2021
Domestic animals and cultivated plants are not eligible.
People must not be a major subject of any photograph.
May the best photograph win! It could be yours!
