Dear PAFSO Members,
You are invited to participate in PAFSO’s 2011 Photo Contest, “Canada in the World.” The contest is intended to showcase compelling photographs which reflect the exciting and at times challenging aspects of the FS experience. Winning entries will be displayed at the PAFSO Awards Dinner on June 9, and some will be featured in a future edition of bout de papier, as well as in the 2012 PAFSO desk calendar.
Guidelines: Photographs submitted should capture the exciting and at times challenging aspects of our lives as FS at home or abroad. Judges will select the winning entries in light of their creativity, composition and visual impact. Though not part of the formal criteria, entries which illustrate the work of PAFSO members in crisis or conflict zones are particularly encouraged.
Eligibility: The contest is open to all PAFSO Members. Spouses and dependents are welcome to contribute, but photographs need to be submitted under a member’s name. There is a limit of 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 18, 2011.
How to Enter: Upload your photos at: http://concoursphotocontest.pafso.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.
Terms and Conditions: PAFSO reserves full usage rights indefinitely of all entries for use in PAFSO promotional material, bout de papier 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.
We look forward to receiving your entries.
