About MMA MMA News Deadline nears for calendar photo contest entries
“Massachusetts: 1,000 Great Places” is the theme for the MMA’s eighth annual municipal calendar photography contest. The Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism has put together a list of 1,000 “great places” throughout the state. Each community is represented with at least one spot. The MMA’s 2011 wall calendar will portray 14 of these sites.
A list of the sites can be found at www.massvacation.com/1000/index2.php.
Photographs will be judged primarily on how well they portray the subject location. Additional weight will be given to geographic and seasonal breakdown in an attempt to represent each region of the state and all four seasons equally in the calendar.
All entries must include one to three sentences describing the photo.
The top prize will be selected for the front cover, with 13 runners-up chosen for each month of the year and the back cover.
• The contest is open to all who wish to participate.
• Submissions will be judged primarily on how well they capture the calendar theme. Secondary judging criteria will include geographic and seasonal diversity.
• Entries should be horizontal color photographs, ideally 10x8 (recommended, but not required). Black-and-white photographs will be accepted as well, but will only be judged as a possible front or back cover shot.
• Digital photos will be accepted, but must be taken at the highest possible resolution to ensure quality when enlarged to fit the calendar format.
• All digital entries must be printed on 11” x 8.5” paper for judging purposes. (Digital entrants will be contacted if the electronic file is required.)
• Entry deadline is Oct. 15.
Note: By submitting photos, the photographer agrees to permit the MMA to publish the photos in its calendar, which is distributed to municipal officials in Massachusetts, and to post the photos on the MMA Web site. Those who wish to have their photos returned after the calendar is published in January should indicate so on the back of each submission and include a self-addressed envelope.
