3. WINNERS SELECTION PROCESS
3.1 Judging: Entries will be judged by a YummyMummyClub.ca judging panel (the “Judging Panel”) that will select the eight (8) winning Entries on or about October 25, 2017. Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible Entries received and the calibre of the Entries. Entries will be judged on originality and creativity and based on the following criteria:
Creativity
We are looking for originality and freshness in photographs. How does the photo visually express your imagination?
Composition
In judging composition, we will look at how you have used things like lines, shapes, colours, patterns, values, textures, form, balance, space (and negative space) within the frame of an image. How are all the visual elements brought together to express the intention of your image?
Technical Quality
The quality of the photographs will be assessed based upon details like lighting, colour, exposure and focus. We’re looking for top notch images.
Impact
We are searching for compelling images that evoke emotion—be it, laughter, poignancy, sadness, anger, love, wonder or any other another intense feeling relating to parenthood. What is that “wow” factor that makes the image impactful?
Storytelling
We are seeking photographs that share your point of view as a parent and as an image maker. What do we imagine is happening within your photograph? Tell us a story of your experience of parenthood through the lens of your camera.
Each entry will be scored equally on each of the above criteria to generate a total score. The entry with the highest total score will be selected Grand Prize winner. The next four highest scores will be selected as Secondary Winners. The next five highest scores will be selected as Runners Up Winners. In the event of a tie, the Entry with the highest score on inspirational quality will be determined to be the Winner. The decisions of the Judging Panel are final in respect of any matter relating to this Contest.
