Travel
A Travel picture must express the feeling of a time and place, portray a land, its people, or a culture in its natural state, and has no geographic limi-tations. Ultra closeups which lose their identity, studio-type model shots, or photographic manipulations which misrepresent the true situation or alter the content of the image are unacceptable in Travel competition. No manipulation or modification is permitted except resizing, cropping, selective lightening or darkening and restoration of original color of the scene. No special effect filters can be applied. Any sharpening must appear natural. No elements may be moved, cloned, added, deleted, rearranged or combined. The use of HDR is allowed provided it produces a realistic image. _____________________________________________________
In Travel competition the title is read when showing the image. The title should give the location and complement the travel story.

Journalism
Journalism entries shall consist of pictures or sequences (up to 4) with informative content and emotional impact, including human interest, documentary and spot news. The Chair of the division will reject pornographic or generally considered objectionable images. The journalistic value of the photograph shall be considered over pictorial quality. In the interest of credibility, photographs which misrepresent the truth, such as manipulation of the image, or depict situations which are set up for the purpose of photography, are unacceptable in journalism competition.
The primary concern is to make story-telling and/or newsworthy photographs. No manipulation or modification is permitted except resizing, cropping, selective lightening or darkening and restoration of original color of the scene. No special effect filters can be applied. Any sharpening must appear natural. No elements may be moved, cloned, added, deleted, rearranged or combined.

Prints
The thrill of seeing one of yourbetter photos transformed toan inspiring color ormonochrome print is hard tobeat. You can hold your workin your hand, admire it, hangit on the wall, give it away as agift, or even sell it if you arelucky. You can compete with itnot only in camera club butalso at the county fairs orother venues. When your clubhas a gallery showing, yourprint will be among thoseadmired by visitors andprospective buyers.
Both prints that win at club level (excluding HMs) and those that go on to N4C require a .jpg file of the print submitted to the print chair. It is recommended that they be set to 1600 (width) x 1200 (height) pixels, the new N4C suggested digital size similar to the digital images. Thus it is not necessary for photography of the prints to take place and the maker’s .jpg image will be far finer for projected display than photographed prints. Prints without submitted .jpgs are still eligible for the Annual Competitions but, if a winner, will not be displayed at the Annual CCCC or N4C Banquets.
