Info for Fair Photography Exhibit

Local photographers planning to enter pictures in the 2015 Fair Photography Exhibit should be aware that fair board staff says they only have Friday, Aug. 28, from 1- 4 pm, Saturday, Aug. 29, from 9 a.m.-noon, or Sunday, Aug. 30, from 1-4 p.m.to get their entry tags from the Fair Board Office.

Each picture entered must have an entry tag tied to the wire on the back.  It will be recorded and exhibited in the category stated on the tag, so be sure that the correct tag is tied on each picture.

Only frames with an opening no larger than 18 united inches (1 length plus 1 width) will be accepted.  They must have screw eyes in the back with wire attached for hanging.  This helps to insure that when the picture is hung, it is likely to stay in place during the entire exhibit. Frames must be covered by glass or Plexiglas to protect them from damage that might result from accidents, for example things like coughs or sneezes.

Additional rules for entry should be checked out in the Department Q section of the Fair Book.  Van Wert Area Photography Club members will be on hand Sunday, Aug. 30, from 1-5 p.m. to check in the pictures.  The photos will be judged on Monday, Aug. 31, and on exhibit Tuesday through Monday, Sept. 7.

There are always some great images on display, so come on out to see what this year will have to offer!

The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Van Wert Area Photography Club will be Thursday, Sept. 10, at 7 p.m. at 114 S. Race St.
