Morel Mushroom Hunting Club's
11th Annual
Mushroom Photo Contest
Deadline: November 30, 2011
Rules: There is still no entry fee, it is free to enter. However, if you would like to donate, that would be great!
Limit of 5 images per person. You must submit your mushroom photo before the end of the day on November 30, 2011. Photos will be judged on clarity, color, lighting, composition, and textures. If you have a great photo, but do not have a scanner, you may send them via snail mail to me with a self-addressed stamped envelope, and I will scan them for you and return them to you. All photos submitted will be put on display here for the public to view. You do not have to be a member of the Morel Mushroom Hunting Club to enter.
There are Four categories this year!.
1. Morels in their natural surroundings. Example:
2.Mushroom finds with or without a person in the picture. example: (your day's find all laid out on a table), (or Cousin Suzy holding the giant 15" Morel!). Examples:
3. Mushroom photos other than Morels. Example:
4.Finally, Pre-1980 Photos, even better if very old in Black and White, photos of Morel Finds from the more distant past. Jpg files are preferred. Any size, I will edit it. (I will pay you for a good photo that is B&W from years past) Example:
I will narrow the finalists down and publish them on a finalists web page. Then you, the public, will vote on your pick of each category. You can vote for your own photograph only once.
