Members! Get your best Black & White images printed!

I hope you took notes at Francois’ Print Nights throughout the season because now it’s time to use that knowledge and submit your exceptional B&W prints. Selection night is March 27th, 2024 at Kin Village Community Centre (5410 10 Ave, Delta, BC V4M 3X8).

6 images, all from different members, will be chosen to represent Delta Photo Club at the Crescent Beach Photo Club 2024 Black and White Print Competition, happening in April. Judging for our Selection Night, we are pleased to welcome Matt King, a member of the Vancouver Darkroom group and a past, long-time DPC member.

Here are the rules:

1. Members can submit up to 3 prints for consideration on selection night.
2. Subject is open. (Appropriate images only please.)
3. Prints must be black and white. No tinted or toned prints will be accepted.
4. Prints may be produced on any type of photographic paper as long as the end result is black and white, but not printed on non-paper items such as metals.
5. Prints may be displayed in any format such as polytychs, be circular or octagonal in shape, and have photographic framing of the image as long as the framing is either black or white.
6. Prints must be 10 x 12 inches or larger, up to 16 x 20 inches.
7. All prints must be thick enough or attached to suitable backing sufficient for them to stand upright on their own, on an easel, to be judged. They may be matted with black or white matting as in previous competitions, but are not required to be.
8. Prints must not be framed, there should be no script on the front of the prints or the mat. Images should not have won or placed in previous competitions.
9. All entries must have the following information attached on the back top right corner:
   • Image Title……………………………………………………..
   • Photographers Name……………………………………
   • Club Name & Address………………………………(Use address: 5410 10th Ave Delta BC)
10. If a photographer is a member of more than one club they may participate in only one club’s entry. Crescent Beach Photo Club will not be accepting individual entries.
