PHOTOGRAPHY DIVISION

The American Daffodil Society Photography division celebrates the daffodil. Photographers are encouraged to compose their entries according to accepted principles of two-dimensional design.

REQUIREMENTS

1. Exhibitors must register in advance by contacting Robert Darling, Photography Chair, at darlingr@aol.com or 1 202 483-2126 or indicating on the Convention Registration form the intention to exhibit and number of photographs, if known.

2. Exhibitors must bring their entries to the show area on Wednesday, April 9 between 12 noon and 8 PM and turn them in to a member of the Show Commit tee to place the exhibits. All entries must be picked up at the close of the show, or by prior arrangement. Those not picked up, will become the property of the American Daffodil Society and may be used in future displays and publications. There is no entry fee and exhibitors need not be members of the ADS.

3. All entries must be the work of the exhibitor and must contain images of one or more daffodils as required by the class. Entries must not have won a First Place award in any class in a previous ADS National show.

4. Classes are open to color or monochrome photographs and will be subdivided if needed. An Exhibitor may make up to two entries in each class.

5. Photographs should be mounted on light-weight stiff card stock or foam board. Conventional light-weight matting is acceptable but not necessary. Minimum print size is 5x7 inches and maximum mounted size is 16x20 inches. No glass or frames allowed.

6. An entry card must accompany each exhibit and will be provided. On the face, the card must have the class number, name of class, title of the photograph (if any) and name of the daffodil(s) if known. For class P-3, include the general area where the flowers were photographed. On the folded tab print exhibitor’s name and address.

7. If warranted by the quality or quantity of entries, classes may be further subdivided. First, Second, Third and Honorable Mention awards will be given as merited in each subdivision. The ADS Wells Knierim Ribbon for Best Photograph in Show will be awarded.

8. The American Daffodil Society will exercise caution in safeguarding exhibits but cannot assume responsibility for lost or damaged photographs.
