Our club, the Photographic Society of Iloilo (Philippines), meets every month and a major activity in each meeting is the photo contest. Points are accumulated for the entire year to determine the “Photographer of the Year (POTY)”. The contest consists of various categories with various monthly themes as follows:
- REGULAR – Only enhancements are allowed on the photos entered in this category. No manipulations allowed.
- OPEN – Its free for all in this category. Manipulations allowed.
- BLACK & WHITE – Open theme competition. Conversion from colored photo to B&W allowed.
- SAFARI – Photos from the club’s safari or on-the-spot contest. Manipulations allowed.
I’ll be sharing the photographs I submitted in our club’s photo contest and its ranking (if any).
