E.M.R.P.S.
Photographic Competition.
Monday May 14th 2001.
As Monday May the 14th was going to be our last meeting before the summer break, it was thought that a photographic competition would be a good idea to have, with prizes like film, photographic vouchers and other photographic related items on offer to the winners, for which they could use in the summer months, also a trophy will be given to the person who presents the best overall photograph on the night.
Rules/Information for EMRPS photographic competition on Monday 14th May 2001.
Photographs entered must have been taken by the person entering them, any photographs can be entered, regardless of how long ago they were taken, but must be of a railway subject. (Maximum of 10 photographs).
Bring your best 10 Prints/Transparencies along they can be on 35mm or medium format, or even large format ( although we do not have a projector for the large format transparencies), prints can be of any size.
The competition will be set into two categories, Best Modern Traction photograph, and Best Steam photograph, with the winners being placed in the best overall photograph, with a trophy as a prize for the best overall photograph.
Mr Murray Brown of Rail Express, has agreed to judge the event.
