Here are the latest information updates and news about CAPA competitions.
CAPA Medal Presentations
This year we will be encouraging local competition host clubs to take photos of winners receiving their CAPA medals. We will post the presentation photos on the Winners Page for that competition along with all the winning images. If you haven’t had a chance to see the winners pages from the 2016-17 competitions, we invite you to have a look. For example, here is the winner’s page for the Fall 2016 Print – Club competition.
Update to Eligibility Criteria
The Eligibility Criteria has been updated to include:
- requirement for all competitions that the image colour space should be sRGB
- CAPA and corporations providing prizes are not in any way responsible for any claims or liabilities related to the outcome of a competition or the violation or infringement of any Canadian law or regulation
Updated Guideline for Judging a CAPA Competition
The Guideline for Judging a CAPA Competition has been updated to include CAPA’s new Competition Standards. This document is provided to all camera clubs hosting a CAPA competition who distribute it to competition judges. Judges are asked to read and comply with the details of this document.
Note that there is a full CAPA Judging Course Manual that is included when individuals have completed a CAPA Judging Course.
Open Print Competition – Deadline October 30
This year, the Red River Exhibition Association is hosting the Print Competition. They are extending a special invitation to CAPA Clubs and Individual members to consider submitting and supporting this competition. There’s something special about printing your photo. Experience the joy of holding the physical results of your work in your hand and sharing it with others. Seeing your photo in print helps you to become a better photographer.
