Afternoon All,
OK Folks. Summer Holidays are nearly here, which means everyone is busy beavering away in their darkrooms.....right? So, why not start Round 13 of the Australia and New Zealand Picture Exchange!
Registrations are NOW open!
Before we continue, there are a few things I would like to stipulate:
- If you want to be involved, you must be committed to printing and sending by the time frames specified below. This will mean it will be a trouble free and enjoyable exercise with minimal fuss!
- If we have less then 5 participants, the round will be cancelled and picked up again if and when there is more interest.
OK, here is the nitty gritty.
How it works:
- Groups will be of similar/equal numbers not exceeding 12 people depending on how many people sign up
- Each person makes a number of identical prints for the others in their group and posts it to the organizer (me) along with an info sheet on how you made the print and what ever other information you wish to share
- The organiser collates everyone's prints and sends you back one print from each person in the group.
The rules:
- Entry is open to Australian and New Zealand members, or those "International" members who have an affinity to our fine southern lands.
- Prints must be no larger then 8 inches on the short side and 10 inches on the long side. For example, 8x8 prints are OK. 8x10 prints are also OK. But 10x10 prints are too big and can't be forwarded on to the other participants.
- Prints must be unmounted
- Prints must be from analog media (ie. negative/transparency, film/paper), commercial printing is acceptable as are inkjet prints as long as it was taken on analog media. However photos taken with a digital camera are not permitted.
- You have to tell us how you made the print
- You must post the prints to the organizer (address will be PM'd after sign-up) before the close date, include stamped self addressed envelope that is large enough for 8x10 prints. You are responsible for ensuring correct postage and adequate protection for the prints from the postage system, water damage etc. Whatever protection you provide for the prints will be the same for the prints returned to you.
- International participants can send me some funds via Paypal to cover return postage of their set of prints. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT POSTAGE TOO AND FROM AUSTRALIA CAN BE EXPENSIVE. Please keep this in mind before you register.
- Late dispatches of prints to the organizer for what ever reason is discouraged as it delays the return of all prints for that group. If prints are going to be late, that participant ('Laggard') is to advise all in the group, and if the others so decide the organizer will return the collected prints, and the 'Laggard' will be responsible for sending out their prints to the individuals of the group. The 'Laggard' will also have a set of prints held with the organizer that they have to arrange postage for.
