Catagories

People - Send in your best "people" work. Portraits, action shots, kids,

whatever. Works will be adjudicated on composition, effective use of

lighting, emotional impact and general photographic quality as determined

by our judges.

Places - We want to see your grandest mountain vistas, your moodiest urban

landscapes. Works will be adjudicated on composition, effective use of

lighting, emotional impact and general photographic quality as determined

by our judges.

Small Wonders - Flowers, butterflies, thumbtacks or your thumb. Take a little

time to send us a little gem. Photomicrographs of vitamin C or pinholes of

pebbles. If it's bigger than a breadbox, it's too big for this category.

Works will be adjudicated on composition, effective use of lighting,

emotional impact and general photographic quality as determined by our

judges.

Digitally Altered Photos - Go crazy with this one, or use some subtle pixel

filters. Either way, amaze us with your light fantastic. Images will be

adjudicated on their "wow" factor by our judges. If appropriate, submit a

copy of the image before the digital touch-ups are made.

Humour - Humour says it all. Photos will be judged on their ability to crack

up the judges.

Prizes

1st place contestants in each catagory are guaranteed a fantastic colour

Teletimes tee shirt with their winning photo printed on the front, as well as

$20 cold hard cash. That's just for starters...more cash prizes will be awarded

to help with the prizes. Updated news on the prizes will appear in the May 94

issue of International Teletimes. Stay tuned.
