2025 Barraba Show Photography Section
IT IS TIME TO ORGANISE YOUR PHOTOS FOR THE SHOW
A timely reminder that photography entries close at 3:30pm on Tuesday, 4th March 2025.
All exhibits, entry forms and fees must be with the Show Secretary by this time.
NO ENTRIES WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER THIS DEADLINE.
The full schedule for Section 19 – Photography can be found at www.barrabashow.com.au . Please pay particular attention to the conditions of entry as exhibits that do not comply with these conditions can not be judged or hung.
Our feature theme for the 2025 Show is “HARVEST TIME”, we are looking forward to seeing some great photos in this class.
AI (artificial intelligence) and digital manipulation are becoming a big part of professional photography in today’s world. After much consideration, however, it has been decided that these aids will NOT be allowed in any classes other than Class 20 (Creative). Photos entered in any other Class (1-19 and 21-25) which have obvious AI/digital manipulation will be withdrawn and not judged, nor hung. Entry fees for withdrawn photos will NOT be refunded, so read the rules carefully. The Chief Steward and/or Photography Judge will be checking all entries. Photos can be “enhanced” – cropped, exposure adjustment, contrast adjustment, clarity adjustment etc – any BASIC editing that can be done at a photo developing booth or in photography software. The Barraba Show is a contest of who can take a great image, not who can manipulate their photo, or use AI, to make it the best.
The revamped School Section (Young Hot Shots) drew more entries from junior exhibitors in the 2024 Show. There are five great classes which we hope will be well supported by our younger enthusiasts. Age will be taken into consideration, so don’t forget to include it on the name label (on the back of the entry).
We have a new Grand Champion Photo sponsor in 2025 – Bay Park Photos, 258 Peel Street, Tamworth. We welcome Chris, the proprietor of Bay Park Photos, as a sponsor of our Section. Please remember Bay Park Photos for all of your photographic supplies and developing needs.
