.- The "C" Challenge /Theme Category is intended to encourage club members to try different genre and photographic techniques. A different Theme is set for each of the 9 EID competitions from September through May. A list of the challenge Themes is listed here on the website under Membership Information.
.- The "M" Monochrome is defined to consist of only white and black, as well as all shades of gray in between. Toning is allowed but must cover the entire image and be of a single color; e.g., sepia toning.
.- The "AR" Altered Reality is a composite image with false color, intentional distortion or imaginative structures or situations.
You can submit up to 4 total EID images in any combination of the above categories.
Images that have received a 4Cs ribbon/award are not eligible to be re-entered.
