That's right, this time around it's not about a cute baby, or an attractive couple, it's simply about the photos and the season. It can be any photo you feel captures the feeling of Spring. This can include people, by all means, it just doesn't have to.
Judging of this contest will be two fold. The first will be the usual round of having your friends and family come vote by "Liking" your photo. From there I will take the top 3-5 (depending on the final number of participants) and those will be judged by a panel of judges.
Judges:
Jackie Casella, local writer for publications such as the Weekly Volcano and City Arts Magazine.
Dana Kehr, PNW photographer and teacher of the photographic arts (TCC).
Kent Ward, photographer and graphic artist currently out of North ID.
And Mark Williams of Centerstage Photography, Tacoma.
These fine individuals have graciously agreed to assist me so that I can offer a contest that is well rounded and fair. Photos will be judged on composition, originality and theme guidelines.
The contest will run from April 15th through 29th. The next two weeks will be for submission acceptance. This gives everyone some time to go out and shoot!
Send 1 image to poeticspectre@yahoo.com that you feel best represents Spring. Then when the album goes live on the 15th, share PSI and ask your friends to "Like" the page (this is not required to vote, it is however, a nice gesture and greatly appreciated), then "Like" your photo to vote.
The winners will receive a free mini session with PSI and bragging rights.
