SEAoNY 1st Annual Photo Contest:
A Call for Entries
The SEAoNY Young Members Group is pleased to announce SEAoNY’s first annual photo contest. Entries must have been taken within the SEAoNY Year 2017-2018, and should showcase this year’s theme “New York, New York”. Contest is limited to SEAoNY members only.
A maximum of one entry per person can be emailed to seaonyym@gmail.com with the subject line “Photo Contest Entry”.
A judging panel will select the top three finalists, which will then be voted on by the attendees of SEAoNY’s Annual Boat Cruise in June, and the winner will be announced at the awards ceremony. Entries will also be posted on the SEAoNY Young Members Facebook page, and photo likes will be factored into the judging panel’s decision.
Deadline for entry is June 15, 2018
Photo Submission Guidelines:
Entries must be saved in jpeg format. Please limit your images to a maximum file size of 5,000KB (5MB).
Note: Entrants should retain high-resolution and RAW files, if applicable, of their submissions. In the event your submission is selected as a finalist or winner, you will be asked to submit a high-resolution image for printing and display, and, if applicable, a RAW image to check if adjustments made to the image comply with the rules.
