The One Shot Competition

 

Entries are due by April 7, 2025.

Rules

  • Submit one picture for each of the 16 categories listed below. Interpret each category however you wish. Nouns can be pluralized.  For example, you could interpret category no. 6, BOAT, as either "boat" or "boats."
  • All images must have been taken on or after June 1, 2024. Older images are not allowed.
  • Images may be shot on film or digital. All entries must be in JPG/JPEG format.
  • Images can be modified in Photoshop or another image editor as follows:
    Okay Cropping, saturation, lightening or darkening, and sharpening.
    It's okay to use layers to do these changes if you want.
    Not Allowed Cloning, healing, multiple captures, or any form of copying and pasting. The content of the original images should not be changed. For example, cloning out a branch or pasting in a new sky are not allowed.
  • Submitted images must be the same size as in PCC competitions: 1920 px max width, 1080 px max height.
  • Name each image file you submit with the category number, your name, and the image title. For example, category no. 4 is EYE so a member named Ansel Adams would name his file
    04-ansel-adams-winking.jpg.
  • For the category TITLE SLIDE, the picture should clearly identify you, the photographer. For example, you could shoot a self-portrait for TITLE SLIDE.
  • You do not need to have an image for every category (there are 16 total). If you've only got, say, 12 entries, go ahead and enter!

Submitting Your Images

There are two ways to submit your images. You can bring them on a thumbdrive to the PCC meeting on April 7. Give your thumbdrive to John Bald. Or you can submit your images online by emailing them to pccupload@gmail.com

Whichever way you submit your images, the deadline is Monday, April 7.

All submitted images will be shown at the One Shot Competition meeting on April 21st (in person). The judges will pick a winner for each of the 16 categories.  Each winner will have a chance to become a millionaire....
