:: Category 17: Sports Photography (Carry-In) Yearbook ::
Nature of the contest
You
will submit three of your photographs that have been published in a
school publication (yearbook) within the last year and
that have not been entered in a previous WJEA competition. All three
photographs should be related to sports. Photos may be color or
black-and-white or a combination of color and black-and-white. Include
hard copies and digital copies of each entry (on thumb drive or
CD/DVD); also include caption information (and a tearsheet if one is
available). The photos may be traditional film or digitally produced.
There is no minimum size for the photos; maximum is 11x14 inches.
Captions must be included with all pictures. Pictures need not be
cropped for competition in the same manner as they appeared or will
appear in the publication. You are responsible for delivering your own
photographs to the contest room and remaining for a two-hour,
small-group critique session.
What the judges will look for
photo composition;
visual impact; story told in each photograph; simplicity; cropping;
lighting. Judges will also look for a variety of sports-related images,
including action and reaction, not three similar images. Quality of the
caption may also be considered.
