Call for entries! Participate in my Texas State Fair photo scavenger hunt! It's just for fun and the goal, as with any photographic endeavor, is to capture amazing photographs... and the winner gets $100 print credit!
these are the two rules to submit
- all photos must be from the 2010 texas state fair.
- you can only submit one photo per category. (and no, you can't submit the same photo in multiple categories.)
here are three guidelines to keep in mind
- it is never a good idea to break the law in order to capture a photograph, i.e. trespassing.
- in what is considered a public space, such as an event like the state fair, everyone is fair game for being photographed. this does not mean you can't ask permission of a person, or even ask people to pose. no matter what, you need to respect the privacy of any adult who doesn't want you to photograph her/his children.
- please shoot all photographs at the highest quality setting that your camera will allow and keep the original files. it would be a shame to have fantastic photos that can't actually be printed larger than a postage stamp because you had your camera settings on the lowest possible quality.
how to enter submissions
- upload your photos to facebook.
- use the photo's caption to list the category in which you are entering that photo. you can also title your photo, but the category needs to be clear.
- tag me in the photo. if we are not facebook friends, friend request me (Leslie Katz)
