As outlined by our President Gerry at our Competition night this evening, we are introducing some significant changes for Club Competitions in the coming year:
MONOCHROME IS BACK!
Each month’s set subjects will be run both as colour and monochrome competitions, with the definition of monochrome as follows:
Monochrome
Any photograph containing shades of only one colour. If toning is carried out, it must be over the total photograph – unless otherwise expressly permitted for a particular competition, partial toning and/or the addition of one extra colour is not acceptable in a monochrome section.
ART BECOMES “CREATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY”.
The “Art” category remains with a new name and a more descriptive definition:
Creative Photography
Creative photography is an extension of conventional photography into creative art. Its purpose is to stimulate creative thoughts and encourage experimentation with new ideas going beyond a simple photograph.
There should be a significant photographic content, and inclusion of mixed media of any kind (photocopy, paint, transfer, digital etc.) is welcome. It can be a collage or a montage.
The final result must be all the photographer’s own work including the original image.
(NOTE – this definition is for CCG Competition only and differs significantly from “creative” definitions in other external competitions.)
