2009 Photo Contest

The Dewees Island Arts Council
is now accepting entries for the
2009 Annual Photo Contest

Deadline for Submissions: March 2, 2009

2009 will be the sixth year that the Arts Council has sponsored a competition for amateur photographers and would-be photographers from the greater Dewees family.  What an amazing collection of photos we have received!  Each year the number of entries has increased.  Each year, we receive a number of repeat contributors and always welcome first time exhibitors. It is wonderful to see our island through your lenses. We now believe it is time to make the competition a little more interesting.

Elements of Design:  Artistic images which make good use of graphic elements.  We are looking for photos that showcase line, shape, pattern, form texture, perspective.  They may consist of any subject.

Digital Darkroom.

 

Digital art images created or drastically altered in software.  Digitally manipulated images are also allowed in the above categories; however, this category exclusively showcases and is the main attraction of the photo.

 

Details & Macro: Getting in close is the name of the game.   We look for pictures of small details that suggest a larger story.  Details might include a knot, a lock, or abstract close-up.  Macro might include insects, stamps, grains of sand, flowers (although a macro image of a flower might equally go into the Flowers category—that decision would be up to the photographer!)
