CYC 2022 Photo Contest Rules and Submission Form 

Many Charlottetown Yacht Club members are avid photographers. For decades, they have captured photos of life in and around the Club, our harbour and nearby Northumberland Strait. It is time for the world to see the best of that work. So, each year we will run a contest open to Club members. See the Winners and Runner-ups from the 2021 Photo Contest.

​There are six categories:
  1. On the Water, Sail
  2. On the Water, Power
  3. On the Water, Racing
  4. In the Marina
  5. Social Life at CYC
  6. On the Seashore

Rules:
  • Contest open to Charlottetown Yacht Club members only.
  • Submit only one photograph in one or more of the six categories using the form below.
  • The image must be owned and submitted by the photographer or with their permission. 
  • Photos are to show scenes in or around the Charlottetown Yacht Club or Atlantic Canada.
  • Indicate in your submission that your have permission to submit photos of identifiable subjects, particularly minors.
 
  • Submissions will be taken until October 31, 2022.
  • A jury will select up to eight photographs for adjudication in each category.
  • The selected photos will be posted on our website. The public will be asked to vote on their favourite image in each category until January 31, 2023. 
  • A jury will then select the winner and runner-up images for each category, based on the voting and other criteria. Winners will be announced by the end of March, 2023. The other images will be taken down and the winner and runner-up images in each category will remain on the website until the following year. The winner and runner-up images will also be printed and posted on a wall inside the Club building until the following year. 
  • Jury members and organizers can submit photos but will not be allowed to adjudicate categories to which they submitted images.
  • All decisions are final. CYC reserves the right to disqualify any entry that is deemed inappropriate or does not conform to the contest rules.
  • Contestants will retain copyright of their photos, but agree to donate the images to CYC to post them on the CYC website for the duration of the competition. Winners and runner-ups agree to let CYC post their images on the website and hang a printed image of their photo on the wall inside the clubhouse the following year. There are no prizes or remuneration. Photographers will be given credit when their image is used.

Tips: 
We accept all kinds of image shapes and sizes because we want to everyone to join the fun. But images will look better if:
  • The horizon is straightened.
  • Images are submitted in 8x10 or 10x8 format and have a high pixel count (1500-3000 pixels on the longest side), and high resolution (160 to 300 pixels/inch). Other shapes, smaller sizes and lower resolutions will be fine for the website, but if yours wins and you want the best print quality on the clubhouse wall, consider these guidelines.
