35th Annual George
W. Glennie Nature Salon
The
Merrimack Valley Camera Club (MVCC) will be conducting the 35th Annual Glennie
Nature Salon. This salon is open to all camera clubs and photographic
associations worldwide. Last year's salon had almost 1,000 images from 85
clubs from around the world.
This is
a premier, international all-nature competition known for its diversity of
subjects which range from animals to botany to landscapes. Among the
animal categories, birds and mammals are usually well represented, but each
year there are also large numbers of invertebrates, reptiles, amphibians and
marine / freshwater entries too.
Entries
will be open starting on December 15, 2014 and closing on February 4, 2015.
Judging will be on February 21st at the Greater Lynn Photographic Society
and the public is welcome.
The
Glennie Nature Salon presents awards to both clubs and individual images.
Each club can submit up to 10 entries, with no more than 2 entries allowed from
any one maker. The top 5 clubs are recognized based upon the total score
of their entries. Last year's Diversity Awards also recognized the top 5
clubs with submissions in at least 6 of the 8 Glennie categories. Individual
awards include Best of Show, Best Wildlife, and Best Image in 8 different
categories. We also present subcategory
and honor awards based upon the number of entries.
The
Glennie Nature Salon is a digital only competition. We will be following
the revised PSA guidelines for nature competitions which allow for "Digital
Realism". Submission is on-line and entries fees can be charged to a
credit card via PayPal.
Complete rules, entry information, and more details can be found
