I'd still like for us to have a MINIMUM of 30 images on display. So, additional entries will be accepted on a first come basis. Just use Jim's procedure below to add any additional images to his contest web site.
Also, if you provide your own easel(s) for display, there is no limit on the number of images entered or size.
At your convenience, please send me an email with the following:
- finished display size
- will you use your own easel or the library display panels
- image title
- image location

The College Hill library staff and patrons loved our group photography exhibit last year and asked us to return for another show. So, here’s a great opportunity for everyone to share their work.
The library has lots of well lit space, but we are limited by their art display panels to about 40 prints. We used easels to further distribute the prints and allow for much larger sizes.
Last year everyone had the opportunity display two images. Hopefully, this year we will have at least 40 participants and everyone gets to display at least one image.

This is the first time that we have used this contest page, it is still a work in progress. Your feedback will be very valuable as this new contest eliminates a substantial amount of work for the moderators doing the contests. If all goes well we could possibly setup other contests throughout the year.

This is a great opportunity. Last year's showing was fantastic! Thanks again to Bill for arranging this, and to Jim for creating/managing the contest!!
I look forward to submitting my images.

Rats! I have a display up right during that time period...... maybe next time.

Bill,
Can I submit floral macros or does it need to be grander landscapes?
Thanks!
Anne
Posted by Bill Pelzmann on October 25, 2011 at 1:45 AM
Anne,
Florals, macros, abstracts, etc. are fine.
The only guideline is to keep recognizable landscapes to within the RMNP states.
i.e. no shots of Half Dome, please.
Posted by Anne K. Rusk on October 25, 2011 at 12:37 PM
Got it, Bill! Thanks! Almost all of mine are from our lovely region!
Posted by Bill Pelzmann on November 1, 2011 at 9:55 PM

Thank you for putting this together!

Can't wait to see this show in the walls. Thanks Bill!

When I thought of this I really was thinking of a pretty informal gathering but Chris Rice's idea to have a formal topic of discussion is a good one. If anyone has a burning issue to discuss post it here but failing that how about we continue with the discussion Stan started with his other worldly image?
How do you feel about "disclosure?" Composite images, blended images, captive animals, etc.
I don't want to steal thunder from Stan's thread so continue to post there but let's kick this around a bit at the show hanging. I have some pretty definite ideas about this and I'm sure all y'all do too so let's fire it up.
Finally, while there will be no formal RSVP, it might be nice to have a rough idea of how many to expect. Please shoot me an e-mail if you're planning on attending. Thanks in advance for the help and ideas.

Looks like I can make the get together. I wish I had something worthy of the display. I'm not sure we need a topic for the gathering...maybe just a more free-ranging discussion (IMHO). Look forward to seeing old and new friends.

Very cool of Bill getting this set up. I sadly don't have anything to enter, unless I were to haul my 6ft pano there. Too much of a pain in the ass. I really wanted to enter this year but I am about to close on a condo in Denver, so all available $$$ has gone to that. I'd like to join the afterwords get together though.
