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)

[Joe Matt]

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

[Newton]

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!

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.

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

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

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.
