Dear PAFSO Members,
We would like to invite you to participate in PAFSO’s 2010 Photo Contest, “The World Through Canadian Eyes.” This contest is intended to showcase compelling photographs which reflect the FS experience. Winning entries will be announced at the PAFSO Awards Dinner on June 10. They will be also featured in bout de papier, and hopefully result in a nifty PAFSO promotional calendar.
Guidelines: We are looking for photographs that capture the imagination and reflect the challenging and often exciting aspects of our lives as FS at home and abroad. Judges will select the winning entries in light of their creativity, composition, perspective, and visual impact.
Eligibility: The contest is open to all PAFSO Members including associate and affiliate members. Spouses and dependents are welcome to contribute, but photographs need to be submitted under a member’s name. Limit five entries per member. Submissions must be original images and not have been previously published. Please include your full name in the image file name.
Submission Deadline: All entries must be received by May 25, 2010.
How to Enter: Please email your entries to photo@pafso-apase.com. Images should be submitted in JPEG (at high quality) or TIFF format. For optimal publication, minimum 5 megapixel or 300dpi resolution is recommended.
Image Modifications: Minor digital enhancement is permitted, but images that have been significantly modified will not be accepted.
Copyright: PAFSO reserves full usage rights indefinitely of all entries for use in PAFSO promotional material, including bout de papier magazine, and indefinite display on the PAFSO website. By entering the photo contest, you grant PAFSO the non-exclusive right to publish, use, distribute, reproduce and publicly display your photograph, and to create derivative works from your photograph, in perpetuity, in any of its on-line, print or other media publications, materials or exhibitions, for purposes of promoting PAFSO, without payment of compensation unless prohibited by law. Photos will be credited to the photographer. Subject to the rights granted to PAFSO, you retain all other copyrights and rights to future use of the photographs you enter into the contest.
Nous attendons vos chefs-d’œuvre!
