We had a recent interclub competition with two other clubs and there were some issues with rules. I'd be interested in how other clubs set up their rules for contests.
My questions: what categories do you use? (nature? wildlife? botany? scenic? etc) do you have rules for whether a picture qualifies for a category? for example: do you have rules about wildflowers vs. cultivated flowers? how much of the frame an animal has to occupy to qualify as wildlife? I'll politely ignore all the "contests suck" and "camera clubs suck" replies. I think it's a lot of fun to see others people work and to see how my stuff measures up to theirs. Yes judges are fickle and sometimes their decisions leave me scratching my head but I still enjoy it. Tom Reese
