Holiday Snaps – A Members’ Postcard Show 11 to 21 February 2010

Straight up in 2010 an opportunity for members to show their work, the postcard show will run from 11 to 21 February. With so many travel happy members we thought Holiday Snaps was a good overarching theme but you don’t have to limit yourself to far-flung places and exotic events – the backyard cricket game or kids in the paddle pool can be just as cogent a statement as travels abroad and afar.

Here are the rules –
1. For an entry fee of $30 you can enter up to 10 works
2. We require two copies of each work
3. Paper size must be 15x10cm (or 4x6 inches)
4. Works will be sold at $30 each and we will take our usual 25% commission
5. The second copy of each work will be used in a postcard pack which we will sell as a PhotoAccess fundraiser – i.e. you are donating this work to us out of the generosity of your heart
6. Work can be delivered between 27 January and 7 February (payment must be received before delivery)
7. Works must be delivered to us in an envelope with your name on it
8. Your name must be on the back of each work
9. We will hang the work
10. Titles are not required on the entry form, merely a quantity of entries
11. All unsold postcards can be collected between 28 February and 14 March, all uncollected work will be made into lucky dip packs and sold with revenue going to PhotoAccess.
