GREAT STATES UPDATE PHOTOGRAPHY CONTEST
GaFWC Update from President Brenda Martin
December 2009
Listed below is some information that I am not sure you as a Georgia Clubwoman are familiar
with and I wanted to call this to your attention now in case some of you were interested in this
particular contest. If Georgia does not have a winning entry, I do have a couple of ideas to have
a photo representing Georgia hanging in the GFWC headquarters. However, it would be much
more fun to have a photo taken by YOU as a Georgia Clubwoman. Please read the details
below and give me a call if you have any questions.
CONTEST RULES:
 The photo should represent the entire state.
 Winning photo should be framed, matted, and ready to hang.
 Consideration should be given to how well the photo represents the state and to the
artistic merits of the photo itself.
 The horizontal photo should be no larger than 20” x 18” (including frame, mat, and
glass). No vertical photos.
 Photos should be in color and may originate from digital format, if desired; photos
should not contain a visible date stamp.
 State information should be firmly attached to the back of the photo, including name of
state, name of photographer, and description of location.
 Only the state’s name and the photographer’s name should be on the mat. No plaques
or poetry on framed photo will be accepted.
 Photographers must be dues-paying members of active GFWC clubs.
 Photos will not be returned.
 The same image may be submitted to multiple contests, but separate prints must be
entered into each contest.
 By submitting your photo to GFWC, you are providing GFWC with a royalty-free
perpetual license to use, reproduce, post, display, create derivative works, sell, license,
or sub-license the work in any media now known or later invented without limitation,
for commercial or non-commercial purposes.
DEADLINES:
Members must submit entries to their STATE Photography Contest Chairman. STATE judging
will be held at the February 2010 GaFWC State Judging at The Lodge at Tallulah Falls. The
STATE Photography Contest Chairman and the GaFWC President will submit the winning entry
to GFWC.
YOU could have the WINNING PHOTO, which will hang proudly at the GFWC Headquarters
representing the State of Georgia. Winning state photos will all be exhibited at the 2010 GFWC
International Convention in Omaha, NE.
