:: Category 17: Sports Photography (Carry-In) Yearbook ::
Nature of the contest
You will submit three of your photographs that have been published in a school publication (yearbook) within the last year and that have not been entered in a previous WJEA competition. All three photographs should be related to sports. Photos may be color or black-and-white or a combination of color and black-and-white. Include hard copies and digital copies of each entry (on thumb drive or CD/DVD); also include caption information (and a tearsheet if one is available). The photos may be traditional film or digitally produced. There is no minimum size for the photos; maximum is 11×14 inches. Captions must be included with all pictures. Pictures need not be cropped for competition in the same manner as they appeared or will appear in the publication. You are responsible for delivering your own photographs to the contest room and remaining for a two-hour, small-group critique session.
What the judges will look for
photo composition; visual impact; story told in each photograph; simplicity; cropping; lighting. Judges will also look for a variety of sports-related images, including action and reaction, not three similar images. Quality of the caption may also be considered.
