Story in Three Pictures Merits CompetitionSince this is a rather unusual category for the Merits Competition it might be helpful to spell out the rules which the Judge (me) will be following.
The Open Section will, of course, be as usual: up to four prints and/or slides per entrant, no prints or slides which have previously won a Merits competition, points out of 10.
1. A single entry for the Story Section should consist of a set of three prints (colour or monochrome) or three slides, which together tell a Story. Entries in which images tell different stories will not be considered.
2. Up to two entries may be submitted in each category (monochrome prints, colour prints, slides), i.e. a maximum of eighteen images per entrant.
3. Each set of images must be the same size and type (e.g. all A4, all black and white), but may differ in orientation if necessary.
4. Each set of images must be given an appropriate title, consistent with the Story. Inappropriate titles will be penalised.
5. The order in which the images are to be shown must be clearly indicated.
6. Entries will be judged principally on the effectiveness of the three images in telling the Story. Artistic merit will be of secondary importance and used mainly for tie-breaking.
7. Points will be awarded out of a total of 15 in each category.
