Take the best ice sculpture photo, and win $200! As part of this year's Holiday Parade of Ice Celebration, taking place Nov. 30th-Dec. 3rd, the Ithaca Downtown Partnership (IDP) will award a $200 prize to the person who takes the best photograph of an ice sculpture without harming it. Ribbons will be awarded to the first, second and third place finishers, and the winning photo will be used to advertise the event next year. All pictures must be submitted to the Downtown Partnership by December 9th.
Photos can be mailed to the Ithaca Downtown Partnership 171 E. State St., Box #136 Ithaca, NY 14850 or emailed to Katie@downtownithaca.com with Photo Contest in the Subject line. Along with the photo, please send a short (up to one page) description of the picture, including the outdoor environment when the photo was captured, location of the sculpture, and why it is the best one and any other details you would like the judges to know. Finally, include a cover page listing your name, phone number, mailing address and e-mail address. To have your photo returned, you mustm include a self-addressed stamped envelope.
A group of local photographers will use their own knowledge of photography as well as the guidelines below to choose the winners. The guidelines are:
· Creativity - Does the photographer show some creative thought or original idea in the making of this image? Is the subject or the content of the photo presented in a way we haven't seen before?
· Composition / Arrangement - Are the objects in the photo arranged in a meaningful, pleasing manner or are they haphazard? Did the photographer use the best angle or otherwise interesting perspective?
· Focus / Sharpness - Is the object of the photo in focus? If not in sharp focus, does it appear to be an intentional effect to enhance the image in some artistic way?
· Supporting text -Does the caption adequately introduce the picture? -How well does the photographer describe why his or her photograph is the best?
The $200 prize will be awarded in Downtown Dollars Gift Certificates.
