Hello participants,

Please find above a link to the show guidelines.

Thanks,

Avril

And now, thanks to Doug, here they are below.
GUIDELINES

SHOW DATES:  The show will run from June 12 to June 24, from 10:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Saturday and Sundays, 11:00 a.m. to 4 p.m.  All participants must sign up for sitting the show at least once.  Reception will be Friday, June 12 from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. and will be potluck.  All are welcome!

FEES:  The total entry fee is $70, payable with registration, by March 11.  Please deliver your fee to Pat Page, Club Treasurer.  Cash or cheque made to: Salt Spring Photography Club.  

ENTRY FORM:  An entry form will be sent by email to each participant. The information provided on the form will be used to create the wall tags for each photo. The participant has the responsibility of getting the entry form to Avril Kirby by Monday, June 1.  Late entry forms may result in no information tag for your photo.  Earlier is preferred!

SALES: The photography club does not charge any commission for images, shrink wrapped images or cards sold at Eclectic Visions.  If the buyer uses a credit card, Gallery 8 charges 5% for the credit card to be run through their system.   All proceeds for sales will be delivered to participants upon the conclusion of the show by Pat Page.  

SHOW SPACE: Each Photographer may enter framed images as follows:
Under 12" wide: 3 pieces
12"-24" wide:   2 pieces
25" to 36" wide:  1 piece
Over 36":  0 piece

No piece should be higher than 36" due to lack of space and the fact that we're hanging a la gallery (all over the walls) this year.

SHOW HANGING: Images will be hung this year by Razali, the owner of Gallery 8, in the same style as the rest of the gallery.  Any work that needs to be hung in an arrangement must be specified in advance.  This will be considered by the show hanger and the hanger's decision is final.

DELIVERY OF YOUR IMAGES: Drop off of photos, shrink wraps, cards, books will be  upstairs at Gallery 8 on Wednesday, June 10, between 3:30 and 5:00 p.m. 

IMAGE PREPARATION: Images must be properly framed.  Mats are at your discretion.  The hanging wire shall not be visible above the top edge of the frame.  The top of the wire must be 1" below the top edge of the frame (not lower or higher).  Metal hooks with teeth on the back of the image and frame which rest upon a nail are not allowed.  Please tape wire ends for about an inch to preclude sharp ends and damage.

Each image's back shall have a label which indicates the image's title and the photographer's name.  Additional information is at the discretion of the photographer.  Please place a post-it note on the glass with your name and the name of the image. We will have these to fill out when you check in.

SHRINK WRAPS:  Each participant may have up to 3 plastic shrink wraps of their framed photos or any other photos for sale.  They will be displayed and as one sells, another may replace it.

CARDS/BOOKS:  Each participant may have up to 20 cards for sale and a total of 3 photo-books.  As one sells, it may be replaced with another.

WALL LABELS:  The tags will include the Name of the Photo, the photographer's name, the price and one line of information with a maximum of 22 characters including spaces.  All other information must be on the back of the image.

NUMBERING SYSTEM:  You will be given numbers specific to you and your work to put on the back labels of your shrink wraps, cards and books.  These will aid in sales and accounting.

BIOGRAPHY:  Please submit your photographer bio on one 8X10 page to Avril by June 1.  The page may include your photo if you wish.  There will be a biography binder book at the show for all visitors to peruse.  Information on the wall images you're showing is encouraged.

END OF SHOW.  All unsold photos, cards, books and shrink wraps are to be picked up on Wednesday, June 24 between 2:00 and 4:00 p.m.

Thank you, Doug & Avril.

[Doug McMillin]

Avril, I would recommend that you sometime cut and paste my last reply into the top part of this discussion (replacing the link). Then you will be able to update it as needed.

[Avril Kirby]

Thanks Doug!

[Bob Davidson]

Avril;

Would you define "properly framed." 

I prefer to exhibit my photos without glass and without an external frame. In the past this has been acceptable.

Thanks, 

Bob

[Curt Firestone]

I guess that I need an answer to this also.  

Thanks

Curt

[Avril Kirby]

Hi Bob (and Curt),  By properly framed I just mean that it has a wire across the back by which it can be safely suspended, at 1 inch below the top bit of whatever you've got your image on--metal or wood or whatever you have planned.  That help?   Avril 

[Curt Firestone]

I guessed that is what you meant.

[Bob Davidson]

Thanks Avril

Bob
