How About An Infra-Red Photo Contest?

["John Wood" <monsterjon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been taking infra-red photos for the last 6 months and wonder how my
photos stack up to others in our little group and in the photographic
community at large.

I would like to put forth the idea of an independantly judged photo
competition with prizes. (donated by members or better yet, by those that
sell us materials and equipment)

This contest would be made up soley of IR based photos in two or more
catagories including:

Straight IR (no enhancements other than toning or other common achirval
processes)

Portrait
Senic

Open (photos may be digitally or otherwise altered)

Portrait
Senic

Entries could be posted to a public site (Yahoo etc.) and contestants would
post their work for viewing and judging.

Judges could be picked from different areas of the photographic industry and
the art community.

I think this would be a solidifying influnce on this group and give the
medium a good boost if properly promoted. (If we get factory sponsers the
promotion will take care of itself)

I have some material that I think is lovely and I have seen some stellar
work from other members. Lets bring it out and show it off!

Let me know your thoughts and ideas?
