photo exhibition and contest.
Who can enter the online
photo contest?
The contest is open to everyone except professional photographers and
those involved in managing Pusanweb.
How
can photos be submitted?
All kind
of photos (except those of a pornographic nature) are welcome. These
can be photos taken with a digital camera or those taken with a 35mm camera
and scanned for submission. All photos must be in .jpg format and no
larger than 300kb. For exhibition and judging purposes
all photos will be resized to an image no larger than 800x600 pixels.
Each entrant can submit up to five photos.

Descriptions or captions
of up to 100 words for each photo can be submitted, but do not need
to be included.
Do photographers
retain the rights to their photos?
All
photo submissions must be the property of the entrant. No images with
third party copyright ownership are eligible for entry. Photographs remain
the copyrighted property of the photographer; however, Pusanweb reserves
the non-exclusive right to use any images submitted to the online photo
contest in online exhibitions, publications, or for promotional purposes.
How
will the images be judged?
Judging criteria include the ability of the image to tell an interesting
story, showcase a striking aspect of life in Pusan, exhibit strong creativity,
as well as demonstrate a high level of photographic quality.
Judging will be conducted by a group of three local photography experts
who are not participating in the contest (as entrants) or management of
Pusanweb and a fourth 'member' of the panel which represents the voice
of online users (determined by a web based vote). All photos must be submitted
by June 16 (extended deadline) and final judging will take place on June
30, 2001 at The Canada Day - 4th of July -
Summer Kickoff Charity Megabash.
Yeah,
yeah, yeah, what are the prizes?
Two top prizes of 60,000 won
(or a 90,000 won travel credit from Kangsan Travel) will be awarded.
One in for the category of 'People Photos' and one for the category
of 'Scenes or Views' .
Four honorable mention prizes of 20,000won
(or a 30,000 won travel credit from Kangsan Travel) will also be awarded.
In addition, each prizer winner will receive a dinner certificate worth
20,000 won.
Judging:
Judging will be
done by email ballot from any and all Pusanweb visitors and a panel
of four 'expert' judges. Combined results from the expert panel
will be weighed evenly with results from online voting. In order
to minimize 'ballot box stuffing', ballots must be sent from a valid
email address and only one ballot will be accepted from each email address.
Judging will take place in two stages. The 'semifinal' round will
narrow the field to eight photos in each category. Ballots for
the semifinal round must be received by June 23 at noon. The sixteen
'finalist' photos will be announced Monday June 24. Final voting
will then take place until June 29 at noon. Winners will be announced
on June 30, 2001 at The Canada Day - 4th
of July - Summer Kickoff Charity Megabash.
