DAHLIA PHOTOGRAPHY RULES
ELIGIBILITY: Open to non-commercial photographers who are registered members of a dahlia society affiliated with the Federation of NW Dahlia Growers. It is not necessary for the photos to have been taken in 2011, but photos that won prizes in any previous contests are ineligible.
FORMAT: A dahlia bloom or blooms must dominate the image area. Only matted color prints may be entered. Prints must be 5” x7” on 8” x 10” mats.
ENTRY TAGS: Use open division (white) tags with the following information filled in: Section, Class, Photo title (in NAME blank; does not have to be the name of the variety pictured), exhibitor’s name and number. Attach entry tags to the back of the mats hanging below the mat so that information is readable from the front when viewing the photo.
JUDGING: Entries will be judged on both a cultural (form, color, etc.) and image (composition, sharpness, etc.) basis.
AWARDS: Ribbons will be awarded for first, second, and third place in each class. A prize will be awarded to all first-place winners, and to the Best Photo in Show.
