Photographers are encouraged to explore the photographic medium and to use it to communicate their own personal vision incorporating feeling, senses and imagination to the viewer. The photography is not restricted in any way, either in subject matter or in the manipulation allowed during the taking or reproduction stages of the photography. Entry is open to single entrants, groups and clubs. All participants must be disclosed on the entry form. Entrants may submit up to four AVs, with a maximum time of 12 minutes for any sequence and a maximum combined time of 30 minutes.
Copyright:
Submission of an entry implies that the entrant has obtained any necessary licences or permission to use any copyright material included in the sequence. Archival third party images, irrespective of their source, should be used only where it would have been impossible for the producer of the AV to have made the image him or herself. All third party images must be appropriately identified and credited.
Resolution:
From 1024 x 768 px (4:3 aspect ratio) up to 1920 x 1080 px (16:9 aspect ratio) may be submitted.
File size:
The file size of a sequence must not exceed 500Mb.
Sequences must be in a format which allows them to be played on a PC without the need for the software which created them, and should close automatically once finished.
AVs may contain the entrant’s name and should acknowledge the work of other artists (e.g. music).
AVs may be submitted on a CD or DVD to the postal address above or via an internet service provider such as www.wetransfer.com, etc. to the following address: neilf11gray@optusnet.com.au
Email a copy of your entry form (with tracking number, if applicable) to hireath@iprimus.com.au so that we can follow up on the arrival of your CD/DVD/file transfer.
Enquire if you do not get an email confirming receipt of your entry by 30 March 2015.
Entries not received by the closing date will not be judged.
We encourage clubs and groups to combine their entries on one CD/DVD and to make one payment to save postage, packing and bank charges.
No entries will be returned and disks will be destroyed after judging.
