The Fine Print:
Judges will first rough-cut and review photos for finalists & submissions will be evaluated on a point system based on composition, light, color, potential to reproduce, and overall appeal. Ten extra 'free' points will be added to our first cut judging based on rarity of species or taxonomic desirability of use for our programs. Dependent on the number and quality of submissions, we may assign extra categories and expand the number of prizes.
People who think they are pregnant, have high blood pressure, upper respiratory tract disease, shell rot, have recently taken Panacur or have fatty livers should not participate without first consulting your doctor or tavern manager as participation may be unhealthy for your ego.
