Members Annual Photo Competition 2008
Our third HPS Middlesex Group Annual Photo Competition
Since our group members have proven themselves encouragingly competent with their photography skills over the last two years, it is time to push the boat out as it were with water as the main theme. Members are invited to submit just one photo each based on the theme 'Water in the garden'. This could be simply including a pond, lake, fountain, cascade or other water feature included as part of an overall picture of a garden scene, a close-up of a water garden plant or a reflection of garden plants in a pond or water feature. As long as the photograph includes water as an obvious part of the overall composition it will be acceptable as an entry.

The rules are very simple. You must be a member of The Hardy Plant Society Middlesex Group to enter. Only one entry per member is allowed. The entry must be a new photo and have been taken by the member themself during the same year as the competition. Geographic origin of the photo is not restricted just to your own garden, but can be anywhere in the UK or abroad. Photographic prints only will be accepted (derived from digital or conventional film). The preferred sizes are 6" x 4" ( 100mm x 150mm) or 7 " x 5" (175mm x 125mm) - Note: photos will not be judged on size, just the image reproduced.

All entries must be handed in to Keith Littlejohns no later than our penultimate monthly meeting on November 3rd 2008.

Results will be announced at the December 1st 2008 meeting and prizes awarded. All entries will be on display at the meeting and winners will also be featured on this web site.
