Conditions of Entry (Please read carefully)

• All entries must be photographed by the exhibitor, but developing and enlarging may be commercially done.
• Framed prints will not be accepted.
• Entry size - minimum 15mm x 100mm (6" x 4"), maximum 220mm x 155mm (8" x 6").
• All prints must be mounted on thin flat cardboard or heavy paper with a border of 30mm on all sides to allow for the photo to be pinned and numbered. It is also essential that the print is securely fastened to the cardboard or paper so they do not fall off while being displayed.
• Entries must have the Exhibitor's name, address and the Class it is to be entered on the back of each photo. Entries incorrectly classed will be reallocated to the correct class at the steward's discretion
• Late entries will not be accepted.
• Exhibits previously shown at the Narrabri Show are excluded.
• Nature entries by definition must exclude all objects that are related to man or are man made.
• Creative entries by definition are those photos intentionally altered so that they do not appear in their usual context. The use of Photoshop is ideal for this type of entry.
• The steward/s and judge reserve the right to accept or reject any exhibit.
• Entries forwarded by post must be firmly packaged bearing the sender's name, address and sections entered. Exhibits will be repacked and returned provided that a self addressed stamped packaging is included for the return post.
• All due care will be taken in handling and presentation of the exhibitor's work. However, no responsibility can be accepted for accidential damage or loss caused in transit or by misadventure during the display.
• Collection of entries will be available from the show office at the showground on the Monday immediately after the show and not before.
• Not open to professional photographers.

Hints for Photographers

• Mounting prints for show - use photo corners with a piece of removal sticky tape on the back of the photo to ensure the print lies flat on the thin cardboard or heavy paper and stays there during the display period.
• Each photograph is assigned to only one section and class, it cannot be marked for several sections. If the exhibitor wishes to put the same photo in several classes then there must be a separate photo for each class.
• Submit photographs in a large envelope or plastic folder with exhibitor's name and address at the outside. This will help stewards to keep exhibitor's photographs together and prevent loss or damage of the photographs during transit and aid in stewards returning them to the correct exhibitor.
