If you haven’t already put your ONPA contest entries in the mail its now time to start thinking Fed Ex. The deadline for still, multimedia and television contests is Friday at 6 p.m.
A change is being made in the categories which will merge the feature category once again. This eliminates a change made several years ago which split the category into assigned and enterprise features. Over the years judges have commented that they really didn’t think the split was necessary. Many photographers were also entering photos in the wrong category.
As is customary in presidential election years a Campaign category has been added to the still contest for 2008. All photos of political candidates for local, state or national office and/or issues including the casting and/or counting of ballots are entered in this category.
