Photography West is participating as one of the six Arizona photo clubs forming a circuit to sponsor the judging and awards for the 2012 10th Grand Canyon Exhibition. This exhibition has been awarded recognition by the Photographic Society of America (PSA) of which Photography West is a proud member.

Some of you will be familiar with the circuit competitions listed in the PSA journal and on their website...and some of you have entered previously and won awards.

 

Here's the concept of this circuit competition. Anybody in the world can enter this competition whether they are members of PSA or not. A large percentage of entries is from other countries, and we are estimating we may be receiving more than 2,000 images! The category for this competition is "Photo Travel". Within that category are two sections - Open and Architecture. You may enter a maximum of four digital images in each section, totaling no more than eight. The total cost of entering is $36.00, for any number of images up through eight.

 

This may seem expensive compared to Photography West’s charge of $.00 per image, but here's where the circuit concept comes in. Each of your images will be judged six separate times, by six different sets of judges in six different locations. If you enter eight images, you have 48 chances to get an Acceptance or higher!! In addition, Photography West will receive a share of the overall entry fees with the other five participating clubs.

As your club rep and judging chair for this exhibition I hope you will take advantage of this competition and enter.
