CONTEST CATEGORIES


Q2 '08 CONTEST CATEGORIES


The Q2 '08 [AG]WPJA contest will consist of seven categories.


1. Getting Ready
Entries which spontaneously capture the prepping, grooming, arranging, outfitting, and anticipation before the ceremony.

2. Ceremony
Images that capture guests and participants throughout pre-ceremony, vow-exchange, and receiving line activity.

3. Reception
Photographs that document festivities from the cocktail hour through the last dance and departure.

4. Details (Found)
Entries that encompass tighter shots of the day's small slices AS THEY WERE FOUND.
NOTE: This category is NOT for set-up detail shots. It's important that images submitted in this category don't contain content controlled by the photographer.

5. Sense of Place / Architecture
Images that capture the feeling, majesty, and ambiance of the ceremony/reception, and highlight the most appealing aspects of the structures/settings (churches, reception halls, tents, patios, beachfronts, woods, etc.) where the events of the day transpired.

6. Kids (Being Kids)
Entries of found moments depicting babies, children, and youth doing what they do best (kids being kids)!

7. Engagement Portrait
Photographs that demonstrate the photographer's ability to create an interesting environmental portrait of their clients prior to the wedding day.
NOTE: This is the only category where non-wedding day images are allowed.


The following types of submissions are encouraged: Photoshop manipulated, darkroom manipulated, in-camera manipulated, toned, infrared, cross-processed, Polaroid, Holga, toy camera, 4x5, etc...
