Hi. Went to the private pre-opening event last night for the Fredericksburg 26th Annual Photography Show. The entries (600+) have been judged and the results are in.
I ended up with 4 ribbons (2 placements and 2 honorable mentions) out of 6 entries.
- 1st place in "Uniquely Virginia" category.
- HM in "Close-up Nature" category.
- 3rd place in "Unclassified" category.
- HM in "Plants" category.
- Looked nice on the wall in the "Children" category. :)
- Looked nice on the wall, in the wrong category. Was a bit bummed because they accidentally placed this image in the "Black & White" category instead of "Animals", even though it was clearly labeled. :/ I can imagine the judges going WTF, this isn't B&W. :P Oh well, at least I was able to get it moved to the correct location for public viewing that opens today.
Anyway, I just wanted to share these results. It's interesting to see how photos do outside of DPC. BTW - The photos I entered in "Close-up Nature" and "Children" have both won contests (camera prizes) in other events recently. :D

Congrats on the wins and HMs. I'm going to have to remember next year to attend that event. I'm in NC but live near I85 and it shouldn't take long to reach Fredricksburg. I took an image like the top one but everybody told me it was blurred and foggy. ;)

Thanks Brad. :) Good think about Gumby is he's squishy. Of course, if you squish his head, he get's fat somewhere else. :P
The coolest thing that happened to me with this show (this is my 3rd year now) is when a guy came up to me last year and said "you're Barry right?" I said I was (a bit hesitantly). He replied that he loved my work. I have NO idea how he connected me to the name on the photos - but I thought it was a very cool thing. :D |

I'm curious, did you have to pay an entry fee for each entry? |

Thanks. :) Yes, entry fee is $10 for up to 4 entries, or $15 for 6. You can sell your prints (price is posted to public during event) if you want. There is a small cash payout for winning entries ($25, $15, $10 - 1st, 2nd, 3rd). |
