There will be two, separate, Audio Visual Competitions

Open AV and Photo Harmony

AVs entered in the Open AV competition will be judged using internationally accepted criteria, where the quality and appropriateness of the images and the sound track, how those two interrelate and of the concept/production, will all contribute to the overall judgment. AVs entered in the Photo Harmony competition will only be judged on the quality of the images, the harmonious way they transition from one to the next and how those transitions relate to the sound track used. Any other features of the AV, such as a story line, narration, graphics or text, will not add any credit to the entry, though they will not penalise it.

Awards

The winner of the Open AV competition will be awarded the 'Tom Prince Trophy'; the winner of the Photo Harmony competition will be awarded the 'Howard & Carole Bagshaw Trophy'. In each competition the judges will also award MCPF medals to the first and runner-‐up AVs. Each of the three judges will also award a 'highly commended' MCPF ribbon for their choice in each competition. Commendations may also be given at the discretion of the judges.

Audience Popular Vote (The Martin Fry Trophy)

The 'Martin Fry Trophy' will be awarded to the AV, across both competitions, which the audience present at the Championships, judge to be their favourite.

Entries

A maximum of two AVs per author may be entered across the two competitions, i.e. two Open AV entries, two Photo Harmony entries, or one of each.

Each entry costs £6 (This includes free entry to the online ZOOM judging).

Copies of the entry form and directions to the venue are available from the website https://midphotav.blogspot.com/

Rules The following rules (1 – 7) apply to entries to both competitions: 1. Entrant: All authors and any co-‐authors must be current members of an MCPF member club. 2. Entries: A maximum of two AVs per author may be entered across the two competitions, i.e. two Open AV entries, two Photo Harmony entries, or one of each. If entering 2 AVs you will be required to indicate your 1st choice, in case pre-‐judging is necessary. Entries should normally be in a 'stand-‐alone' format which does not require any addition 'player' on the PC used to project the AVs. Video files may be entered and will be played on 'VLC media player'. Entries may be submitted on CD/DVD, a memory stick or by a file transfer program such as 'WeTransfer'. 3. Eligibility: Sequences entered into any previous MCPF Audio Visual Competition, may not be re-‐entered subsequently. 4. Copyright: It is the entrant’s own responsibility to ensure that any material recorded on the soundtrack, or visually shown, is appropriately covered against copyright infringement. If copyright music is used, the entrant must quote their IAC license number. 5. Projection of Entries: Either a digital projector with a resolution of 1920px * 1080px, a PC computer and sound system will be provided or entries will be shown on line. All entries will be downloaded on to the computer’s hard drive for projection, and will then be erased following the judging session. However for those selected to be shown at MidPhot Exhibition, a programme will be created and written to a memory stick for the exhibition organisers’ use only and will be shown either physically or on-‐line. 6. Entry Form and Fee: An entry form must be completed by each entrant, and submitted together with a fee of £6 for each entry. 7. MidPhot Exhibition: A selection of AVs from both competitions will be chosen by the judges and organisers, to be shown at MidPhot exhibition, or on-‐line via Zoom later in the year. Rules 8 & 9 specific to the Open AV competition: 8. Photographs: It is expected that all photographs used in the AV will have been taken by the author, unless the subject matter requires images which, for historical or safety reasons, could not have been taken by the author. Video may be included but should not dominate the AV. (N.B. for PAGB distinctions the advice is no more than an aggregate of 25% of third party images, graphics and video, in photographs or duration). 9. Duration: The duration of any Open AV must not exceed 12 minutes. Rules 10 & 11 specific to the Photo Harmony competition: 10. Photographs: All photographs and any post processing must be the work of the author or co-‐author.

DefinitionsBlack & White Photography (Monochrome - FIAP) A black and white image is one with tones from very dark grey (black) to very clear grey (white). A black and white image toned entirely in a single colour will be able to stand in the black & white category and can be reproduced in black & white in the catalogue. On the other hand a black and white image modified by partial toning or by the addition of one colour to a part of the image becomes a colour image and should be entered in the colour category. This type of image will be reproduced in the colour pages of the catalogue.Scapes This section can include landscapes, cityscapes, seascapes, skyscapes. Any humans or animals should not be main subject but can be included to give scale or perspective. Nature Photography Nature photography is restricted to the use of the photographic process to depict all branches of natural history, except anthropology and archaeology, in such a fashion that a well- informed person will be able to identify the subject material and certify its honest presentation. The story telling value of a photograph must be weighed more than the pictorial quality while maintaining high technical quality. Human elements shall not be present, except where those human elements are integral parts of the nature story such as nature subjects, like barn owls or storks, adapted to an environment modified by humans, or where those human elements are in situations depicting natural forces, like hurricanes or tidal waves. Scientific bands, scientific tags or radio collars on wild animals are permissible. Photographs of human created hybrid plants, cultivated plants, feral animals, domestic animals, or mounted specimens are ineligible.Nature Pictures which have been modified but preserve the truth of the statement may be entered. Any images that show an obvious alteration cannot be entered into the nature section but can be entered into the Open sections.Open Sections These are open to any form of photography and can be of any subject matter with the exception(s) of Nature pictures unless they have been obviously altered from reality. NB Scapes have their own section and should be entered there. Any Nature pictures that do not show any obvious modification should not be entered into the Open sections.Triptych A Triptych is THREE images that are related or tell a story or progression and placed on a background. They should be presented in one single file the same as any other projected image not as three separate files. General Conditions of Entry All images must be entirely the work of the photographer. Composite images are permitted provided all component images meet this requirement.The Exhibition is for work not previously exhibited at MidPhot.

How to make your MCPF MidPhot entry

You can enter as an individual or your club competition secretary can enter them on your behalf.

These instructions show you how to enter the titles for your Colour, Monochrome , Scapes, Nature and triptych image files for projected digital image (PDI) entries. You will do this for each member in turn. When you have finished reading this, click on the link below to start. You will be asked first for your email address, then your name and postal address and then to select your club from the list of MCPF clubs.

You can now enter your own images. If you are entering work on behalf of other club members and want the information to come to you then click the “No” button. You will be asked to submit your email address again, and to enter the name of the entrant, the address details will default to the original one entered, leave as they are. Submit the titles and or upload the images as before.

You will be asked to re-submit your email address, each time you want to enter details of another member. This is for security reasons, to check that you are not a robot.

Don’t forget to choose your club. You will then be asked if you want to enter one or more sections in the exhibition yourself. If you do, click “Yes” for the relevant sections and upload your entries. If you are not entering the exhibition yourself, click “No” for all sections.

When you have completed your entry, you will see a page that invites you to • Add an entrant to the group• Close the group and pay fees (choose this if you are entering as an inidivual)• End your session, and return later to add entrants and/or pay.

If you click “Add”, you will see a page where you can enter the name of the new group member. If you wish, you can supply an email address for this entrant to which their confirmation email and report card will be sent. Otherwise these will be sent to your email address.

Upload the entrant’s images in the appropriate sections.

Pdi - PDI images should be 1600 x 1200 pixels 300dpi. If you upload an image whose dimensions are larger than this it will be resized for you. Click on the choose file button and select your image from wherever it is being stored, hard drive, flash drive, memory stick, CD. This process is the same for all sections. Once uploaded, enter the title of the image as you wish it to be shown in the catalogue. DO NOT include your name or club in the title. When you have finished entering all your images for that section click next and choose the next section you wish to enter.

Once you have finished entering the details for one person answer choose how the work is to be returned.

Paying When you have completed the entries for all the group members, click “Close the group and pay fees”. The fee will be calculated and you choose your method of payment. If paying by cheque could you please write the name of the entrant(s) on the reverse so we can tally them up to each entrant. You will also be shown your entry, which you can print. You can either go back to the start (click on list shown on left hand side of screen) or close and re-open the programme.

When we have processed the entries we will send confirmation emails to all the emails either as an individual or as part of a group (if supplied).

Making changes You do not have to put all the entries in at one time – you can stop the process at any time and return later using the link below. When you return, you will see a list of the members whose work you have entered. If you need to make a change you can select one of these, or you can click the “click here” link to add a new member’s work. When you reach the “Add an entrant” page or if you return after exiting, you will see a list of the members of the group. You can select one and make changes. If you add a section to an entry after you have paid, you must also select your own entry and click through to “close the group and pay” again. You will be asked for the difference between the new fee and the old.

If you return after exiting, you can add new members by selecting your name and clicking through to the “Add an entrant” page.
