Virtual Photography Show
Some Things to Consider

  1. Awards are determined by outside federated judges. You can enter one photo in every class, but classes are limited to 8 entries.
  2. Only one 1st, 2nd, 3rd and HM will be awarded.
  3. Classes will not be subdivided.
  4. Classes 1, 2 and 3 are photography classes and will be judged according to the scale of points for photography.
    (Above, and Handbook pages 95-96).
  5. For classes 4, 5, 6 and 7, the photo entries require their proper binomial names, just as at our bench shows.
  6. Classes 4, 5, 6 and 7 are Horticulture classes and will be judged according to the scale of points for horticulture.
    These entries will be exhibited as at our monthly bench shows, the only difference is that your photograph is your entry .
    The photo needs to be clear, with good lighting and close up enough to judge the entry.
    Container, stem, leaves, etc. must be visible.
    You may use a background.
