LEICA Barnack Berek Blog PHOTOGRAPHY CONTEST




We are excited to offer our first photography contest.  It is very simple; there are no entry fees and no rules or restrictions of what you may enter.  Simply take what you consider to be your best work and send it in.

Please don't forget your name and contact information!

Please make the long dimension of the photograph approximately10 inches with a resolution of 100 DPI in a JPEG file format.  We will accept hard copy photographs within similar dimensions.  Entries are limited to no more than five photographs.

All photographs will be copyrighted by your name unless otherwise specified.  None of the photographs will be used for any other purpose unless prior permission is received.  Entering the competition will give the LEICA Barnack Berek Blog permission to publish your photographs in conjunction with this contest only.

Entries will be accepted until the last day of April 2015.

We believe that any photo contest, judged by only one individual, cannot possibly be fair because the contest will inevitably be subject to the likes and dislikes of only one individual.  For that reason this photography contest will be judged by three judges,

Heinz Richter, editor of the LEICA Barnack Berek Blog
Monica Kopeć, Art Historian

And a third person yet to be chosen

    1. They will be judged by three individuals. I don't believe in photo contest that are judged by only one individual. That way the entries are much too dependent and just the likes and dislikes of one person and thus potentially unfair. We will have three judges, me, Monika Kopec, who has a degree in art and a third individual as of yet undetermined.
