Category B: Other things one can do with photos, such as albums, mugs, clothing, note cards, etc. The committee agreed that Category A should have its own vote, apart from the usual photos. Category B will be for display purposes only. No labels needed and no prizes. Category B can be brought the day of the show

Videos/Slide Shows

Members willing to create a video or slide show will need to bring their own equipment for their display. Again, only material not already seen at our Photo Shows. Electrical outlets will be available but you should bring you own 25ft extension cords to be sure..

If you think you might create such a presentation, let us know anytime between now and September via email (snapscslv1@gmail.com)

*We have a tutorial on how to mat called Photo Mounting – Temporary. Click here.

If you have any questions, let me know at snapscslv1@gmail.com.
