-======2018-2019 Competition Year======+======2019-2020 Competition Year======
  
-===== July 2018 - Open =====+===== July 2019 - Photojournalism =====
  
-The Open competition allows photographs of any subject matter to be entered. They can be manipulated in any way you choose.+Photojournalism entries shall consist of images with informative content and emotional impact, reflecting the human presence in our world. The journalistic (story-telling) value of the image shall receive priority over pictorial quality. In the interest of credibility, images that misrepresent the truth, such as those from events or activities specifically arranged for photography or of subjects directed or hired for photography, are not eligible.
  
-===== October 2018 – Close-Up/Macro =====+Note: Entrants are cautioned that the previous sentence includes any images that appear to be arranged or posed to the judges. Entrants are therefore advised that such images are likely to be disqualified. 
  
-Photographs of small subjects or close up views of sections of large subjects. Think of this Class as “close up” to the subject. A photo of a faraway galaxy appears closer using a telescope, but it’s not a close-up image. A close-up on a face is good, but maybe better is a close up of an eye. This class is expecting some level of magnification.+See Note; See Border. 
  
-===== Jan 2019 - Action =====+===== October 2019 – Portrait =====
  
-Motion being portrayed as the dominant theme, includes sports.+Portrayal of a person or persons either posing or candid. An image is eligible for the Portrait class whether or not the image is acquired indoors – such as in a formal studio setting – or outdoors in a natural or artificial environment. Such elements include but are not limited to: the lighting, including the use of reflectors and diffusers; the arrangement of people, props; backgrounds; makeup; or apparel.
  
-===== Mar 2019 – Camera Phone =====+===== Jan 2020 - Nature =====
  
-Photos taken with a phone camera. Any subject matter is acceptable. Images processed by “Apps” are allowed.+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 are permissible. Photographs of human created hybrid plants, cultivated plants, feral animals, domestic animals, or mounted specimens are ineligible, as is any form of manipulation that alters the truth of the photographic statement. Something that exists in nature: insects, butterflies, spiders, trees & leaves, etc., Nature can have landscapes, geologic formations, weather phenomena, and extant organisms as the primary subject matter. This includes images taken with the subjects in controlled conditions, such as zoos, game farms, botanical gardens, aquariums and any enclosure where the subjects are totally dependent on man for food. See Note; See Border.
  
-===== May 2019 - Open =====+===== March 2020 – Open =====
  
-We want to make a habit of having an Open Competition every May to allow members to submit their favorite images which may not have been included in any of the other competitions for that year.+Any photo taken by the photographer may be entered in this competition. This includes manipulated images and filters.
  
-Again, it allows photographs of any subject matter to be entered. They can be manipulated in any way you choose.+===== May 2020 - Wildflowers/Desert Scenes =====
  
-===== June 2019 - End of Year Competition =====+Scenes depicting the environment, plants, animals and birds of the southwestern deserts.  
 +Close-ups and landscapes dominated by desert wildflowers.
