The kick-off event provides Mill Valley shutterbugs of all ages and ability levels with everything they’ll need to participate in the competition and submit their best photos in a range of subject categories that highlight Marin’s unique characteristics and subsequently reveal each photographer’s perspective through the camera lens – and cell phone photos are encouraged.
If participants cannot attend the Kick-Off event, categories will be randomly assigned and provided to participants the following day via email. Participants will have until November 6 to capture digital pictures that best represent the subject and electronically upload a single image entry to the competition.
At the “Kick Off” event, participants may sign up for an editing session or make an appointment with The Image Flow at 415-388-3569. Participants will have the opportunity to spend 15 minutes with a professional photographer who will provide guidance in selecting and enhancing the best image for judging.
Whether photographers choose to attend an editing session or load their entry on their own, images must be uploaded to the Click-Off designated website (TBA) no later than midnight November 7.
