Summer 2009 Photographic Competition

Website Photographic Competition Summer 2009.

Paul Freshney and I have been giving some thought to having a Website Competition for registered members. We did not just want to have a simple lottery but something which would showcase the best of model boat building and stimulate discussion on the Forum which we can all learn and benefit from. So, after a bit of head scratching, we have decided to have a photographic competition. Most people have access to a digital camera these days so just about anyone who wishes should be able to enter.

The twist will be that the winning photograph will be the one which looks most like a real ship as opposed to a model!

The Rules.

1. Entrants are invited to submit up to three photographs of their models on the Forum Website Photographic Competition Topic for consideration by the judges

 2. If more than one photograph is entered it would be helpful if they are all contained within the same post. This will make it easier to administer the entries.

3. Each photo will be assessed by the extent to which it appears to depict a real vessel rather than a model. Close up views of part of the model will be eligible as well as photos of the whole model. Models photographed may be either working or static. Dioramas must have a predominantly nautical theme.

4. Only one prize can be won by each entrant.

5. Judging of the most realistic photo will be by the Model Boats Editorial Team.

NOTE! If you have any questions about the Competition, please post them on the Summer 2009 Competition Q&A thread. Only post actual entries on this one.
