Team 341 ? Miss Daisy will be giving great PRIZES and custom PLAQUES to teams for our First Annual PHOTO CONTEST.




Each team may enter ONE photo in their choice of four categories:

2. On Field / Competition
3. Digitally enhanced
4. Spirit of FIRST


Rules
- Entries must be received by March 1.
- Photos should be entered as a digital file sent to: jnewtonhaine@mac.com
- Please include both team number and photo category in the subject line.
- Photos will be judged by a panel of Philadelphia area artists.
- Winning photos will be those that best meet the theme with the highest artistic quality.
- Awards will be given at the National Competition in Houston. Teams do not need to attend to win.
- Photos will be used by Team 341 for display at FIRST events only.

Sounds like fun...

Do you prefer color or b and w shots? Or is that our choice as part of the artistic niche of the competition?

Does picture quality matter? Basically because my digital camera sucks and I don't feel like putting film in my Minolta SLR :) (Although I guess I could whip out the Nikon 880...buah...might be better than my 1.3Mp Olympus D-370...hee)

Good idea. I'll see what I can do.

Maybe it's time to clean up the dark room in the basement. I think there's still the right stuff to do it. I'm pretty sure our enlarger works... *shrug* It's buried under computer junk :)

Quality? Size? Rare Moment?
 

While I won't be one of the judges, I don't feel this contest can only be won by the person with the best camera or darkroom...Sometimes the best picture is just being lucky enough to have a camera with you at the right time.

Good luck to all...

The prize? WELL worth it!

Is this the prize:

That's only the second-place prize..

Got you drooling now, eh?

Re: Photo Contest!!!!!
 

I think a 5th category should be added for 'The Robot and or Parts' ... this is a pretty big part of FIRST :) but doesn't seem to fit under any of the other categories.

:eek:That thing costs more than the robot!
I can't imagine a team giving away even 1 of those!

*sigh*....my team has 2 of those at our diposal and we also have 3 GL1's..... :D :p

Uhh
 

Could we have one...please?

Only two? Ohh...we give them away to every team member. Sheesh...you lowly under-funded teams :D

Additional Categories?
 

The intention of this contest is to focus on the artistic skills of the students of first. Team member pictures can be taken during construction or competition, perhaps on one of your trips. The competition shot could really cover things on the field, or an action shot of your drivers. The "spirit of FIRST" shot can represent anything that is an important part of your program.
Get creative and any pictures you want to enter (a close up of a well engineered part?) can find a category to fit in.
The judges are looking forward to your entries.

while your at it post pictures in the gallery, i want to see bots

Re: Uhh
 

You should just buy one... only 5000 dollars:ahh: :ahh: :ahh:

THATS KRAZY!!:yikes:

And so it begins...
 

The first entry was just submitted!

Team 61 is in the lead!

Are drawings permitted? This contest is to show/compete the artistic talents of FIRST, right?

Must the picture be from this season?

Are you sure I can only submit *ONE* picture?

Not one for each category?

Please? ;)

Rules clarifications
 

Chewy.... good idea for another contest, but this one is for photos. It would be too difficult to judge with varying media.

Jon... Thanks, you broke the tie! I said we should allow four entries per team.... someone else said I was asking for trouble (800+ teams multiplied by four pictures coming into my e-mail...). All you had to say was PLEASE... and anyway.... Trouble's my other middle name!

TEAMS MAY ENTER ONE PHOTE FOR EACH OF THE FOUR CATEGORIES
