2019 Four Nations Competition

This competition was hosted by CAPA and we obtained the assistance of three recognized and independent judges from the Photographic Society of America.

Great news. CAPA has won this inter-photographic society competition for the 5th consecutive year in a row.

Amazing images were submitted by all four photographic societies.

– Check out the competition results and the winning images here – https://capacanada.ca/2019-four-nations-competition/

Congratulations to all of our 80 photographers whose images were selected for this competition.

Updated CAPA Rules

Read More >>

Change #1 – All submitted images will be pre-screened by the respective Competition Coordinator (and possibly subject matter experts) to ensure the images:

  1. do not contain watermarks (name of photographer or camera)
  2. are within the Scope of Competition
  3. are NOT sexually explicit

The pre-screening will take place shortly before and the day after the ‘closing-of-date’ of the competition.

Entrant will be given an opportunity to provide a replacement image if the original image clearly does not fall within the Scope of Competition.

If an image is questionable on whether it falls within the Scope of Competition or not then the entrant will be given the benefit of the doubt and the images will remain within the competition.

Sexually explicit images will be referred to the CAPA President or their designate to decide if an image will remain in the competition or not.

After the suggested changes or replacement have been coordinated by the Competition Coordinator, the Judging Panel will be advised that they can commence viewing and scoring of images.

Change #2 – The Judging Panel can now disqualify an image if the majority of judges are in agreement.

The pre-screening of submitted images is not a guarantee that all errors have been corrected or noted. The pre-screening of an image may be in a ‘grey-area’ and the acceptability of the image will be left to the Judging Panel to access.

If a judge has a question about the accessibility of an image or feel it should be disqualified then they will contact the Competition Coordinator. The Coordinator will then advise the other judges to provide their opinion or judgement on a specific image.

When the majority of judges are in agreement that an image should be disqualified then this image will be removed from the competition and will not appear in the final competition report.

The Competition Coordinator will advise the respective entrant of the disqualification and that the decision of the judges is final.

If you have questions about the acceptability of your image into a competition, please contact the respective Competition Coordinator well in advance of the ‘closing-date’ of the competition.

2019 – 2020 Competitions

Based on the recent CAPA survey results, our 2019 – 2020 competitions now contain many of these recommendations.

Read More >>

Most of our competitions contain multiple themes. These changes are aimed at encouraging more participation in our competitions and the recognition of outstanding images in each theme.

The Monochrome competition has just been updated to include a 5th theme – Animals/Birds/Insects (wild or domesticated – ‘hand-of-man’ is permitted)

The following competitions are now open for the uploading of images:

  1. Curves & Lines – closes on October 15, 2019

Septembre 2019 Nouvelles des concours

2019 Concours quatre nations (‘’Four Nations Competition’’)

L’ACAP a été l’hôte de ce concours et a obtenu l’assistance de trois juges indépendants et reconnus de la ‘’ Photographic Society of America’’.

Bonnes nouvelles! L’ACAP a gagné ce concours inter-sociétés photographiques pour la 5ieme fois consécutive.

Des images stupéfiantes ont été soumises par les quatre sociétés photographiques.
-consultez les résultats du concours et les images gagnantes ici : https://capacanada.ca/2019-four-nations-competition/

Félicitations aux 80 photographes dont les images ont été choisies pour ce concours.

Mise-à-jour des règlements de l’ACAP

Lire la suite >>

Changement #1 – Toutes les images soumises seront soumises à une pré-sélection par les coordonnateurs de concours respectifs (et possiblement par des experts dans les sujets spécifiques) afin de s’assurer que les images :

  1. ne contiennent pas de filigranes (le nom du photographe)
  2. respectent la portée du concours
  3. ne sont pas sexuellement explicites

La pré-sélection sera effectuée peu avant et peu après la date de clôture du concours.

Les participants auront l’opportunité de soumettre une image pour remplacer une image qui ne respecte manifestement pas la portée du concours.

En cas de doute sur le respect de la portée du concours, on acceptera l’image tout de même en accordant au photographe le ‘’bénéfice du doute’.

Les images sexuellement explicites seront soumises au président de l’ACAP ou à son représentant désigné qui décidera si l’image peut rester dans le concours.

Une fois que les changements suggérés et les remplacements auront été effectués sous la direction du coordonnateur des concours, le comité des juges sera avisé que le visionnement et la notation des images peut commencer.

Changement #2 – Les juges peuvent maintenant disqualifier une image si la majorité des juges s’accordent.

La pré-sélection des images soumises ne garantie pas que toutes les erreurs ont été corrigées ou relevées. La pré-sélection comporte une zone d’incertitude et l’acceptabilité d’une image sera décidé par les juges.

Si un juge se questionne ou pense qu’une image doit être disqualifiée, alors le coordonnateur des concours sera consulté. Le coordonnateur avisera alors les autres juges afin d’obtenir leur opinion ou leur jugement sur une image spécifique.

Lorsque la majorité des juges s’accordent pour disqualifier une image alors cette image sera retirée du concours et n’apparaitra pas dans le rapport final du concours.

Le coordonnateur du concours avisera les participants concernés par la disqualification et exprimera que la décision des juges est finale.

Veuillez soumettre toute question sur l’acceptabilité d’une image à un concours au coordinateur du concours concerné bien avant la date de clôture du concours.

Concours 2019 – 2020

Les concours de la saison 2019-2020 intègrent maintenant plusieurs des recommandations résultantes de l’enquête récente de l’ACAP sur les concours.

Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival

The Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival has announced the full program for the 23rd edition of the Toronto-wide event spanning the month of May, including its core programming of 23 primary exhibitions and 15 public installations.

Influential American artist Carrie Mae Weems will headline this year’s festival with an exhibition in five parts sited at distinct locations across the city, representing her first solo exhibition in Canada.

In addition to Weems, a selection of outstanding North American and international photographic artists will present an array of projects in museums, galleries and public spaces across Toronto.
“The range of artists that we have gathered for this year’s edition of CONTACT truly span the globe and bring insights and observations on so many different cultural, political and environmental issues,” CONTACT executive director Darcy Killeen says.

“The entire CONTACT team is honoured to have such a diversity of talent on view in Toronto this May and we thank our many partners and supporters for making all of this possible.”

Beyond its core exhibitions, CONTACT includes featured and open call exhibitions that present a range of works by artists at leading galleries and alternative spaces across the city.

CONTACT also organizes and co-presents a wide range of programs, including a book fair, book dummy reviews, lectures, panels and workshops appealing to a wide audience.

Full details are available on the CONTACT website (scotiabankcontactphoto.com). The festival is free and open to the public, with some exceptions at major museums.
