Although apparently, mine weren't even judged due to being too small. I knew the one was pushing it (it was odd size, printed it as large as I could on 8.5 x 11 sheet paper) because larger than that sheet size is large format printing around here, and I don't have $20-$30/each to spend on printing 0.o but I measured the others and they are actually printed at 8.5 x 10.5 so....not sure why those were "too small". You were right Jansen, make them bigger than 8x10, I didn't realize that "no smaller than 8x10" meant "it must be larger than or we won't look at them" xD (which 4 of mine were, but I guess .5 inches larger isn't larger enough :P) although apparently they were still put up at least. Ah well, I have some of my personal fav photos printed to hang in my apartment now if anything.
I keep looking for photos from the convention and not finding any...are peeps just not posting? I'd love to see what the grounds and such look like, the above ground stuffs that go on, ya know? maybe I'm just being blind though.
Amy,
We (the judges) did discuss minimum size requirements, but most - I think all - of your prints
were accepted for show and judged. Each print should really be 8x10 minimum not including the mat, according to the current rules. But that can change each year, and the salon chair and judges are often somewhat flexible with the rules. If you'd like additional feedback on your images, I'd be happy to email/chat privately with you some time.
I've seen a bunch of convention photos being posted by people on Facebook. I'll upload mine eventually, but right now I'm a little busy packing up and moving house.
