1st PAOBA Alpaca Photo Competition
-- New This Year!

The 2005 Breeders Showcase is proud to hold its first PAOBA photo contest. This is another great way to market your farm. We all have those special photos of our alpacas that we hold near and dear. Now's your chance to show off your photography skills, those special alpacas moments, and your wonderful alpacas. All 2005 PAOBA Breeders Showcase participants are eligible to participate (except for PAOBA photo contest committee members and photo contest judges.) Photos will be judged on creativity, composition, content, and artistic merit.

Competition Rules:
Format must be at least 3" x 5" and no large than 8 1/2" x 11". Only one photo per category per farm permitted. All photos must contain at least one alpaca. No photos are to be submitted that have been previously published elsewhere. Each photo may only be entered in one category. All photos submitted must have been taken within the past 12 months, prior to the entry deadline. Please send working prints, as photos will not be returned. All entries must be mailed, no e-mail or faxed entries accepted. Submission of photo permits PAOBA to publish photo in PAOBA Planet newsletter and/or website. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place ribbons will be awarded in each category. A special "People's Choice Award" will be voted on by show attendees. This special ribbon will be awarded Sunday afternoon to the winning photo. Ribbons will be displayed at the 2005 PAOBA Breeders Showcase. Ribbons and photos may be picked up from photo contest display after 4pm on Sunday, May 22, 2005. Judge's decisions are final.
