PHOTO & VIDEO SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Welcome to the first ever Virtual Lindsay Exhibition! We understand that a virtual exhibition is a new format for most of our exhibitors and may pose challenges for entry submissions. We created this section to help our exhibitors ensure that the photos and videos they submit properly represent the quality of their entries and enable the judges to view the entries in a similar manner as they would in person. Please pay special attention to the guidelines we have laid out in this section to ensure your submissions properly showcase the work you have put into your projects. For more tips, examples and links to tutorials, please visit the Virtual Competitions Resource page on our website, Virtual Competition Resource Page
General | Photos | Videos |
| - If making multiple entries, plan to photograph/video everything in one session and upload media for all entries at the same time. | - Unless otherwise specified, use plain white background. Example: white table cloth, white pillow case, white bed sheet, etc. | - Minimize background distractions. A plain white background is recommended, where possible. |
| - Avoid the use of flash | - Unless specified, photograph entries lying flat. | - Use a tripod if possible to steady the image and move slowly. |
| - The project should occupy as much of the photo/video frame as possible. Adjust the camera angle and distance from the object to maximize the space occupied by the entry. | - Take multiple photos, then select the best from the group. This increases your chances of capturing a photo that accurately portrays your work. | - Mute all of your videos before submitting. |
| - Natural lighting is the most reliable light source for a quality photo or video. Keep the light source behind the camera to avoid darkening the image and make sure that no shadows appear in the frame of view. This is especially important when photographing paper projects. | - Any device with a camera can be used. Make sure to focus your entry before taking the photo by tapping the screen on a smartphone/tablet or lightly depressing the shutter button on a digital camera. | - All videos should be filmed in landscape view. This means if you are recording on a smartphone or tablet, make sure to turn your device to a horizontal position before beginning to record. |
| - Double check that your file types match the accepted file types before submitting. | - Accepted photo file formats: JPEG, PNG or TIFF files | - Accepted video file formats: MOV or MP4 |
| - Make sure to download, print, and include the Virtual LEX Icon in all photos (Rule #12). | ||
| - Do not enhance or adjust your submission files (Rule #14). | ||
Jewellery Photos | Photography Classes | |
| - To be photographed being worn, either on a person or a mannequin/appropriate display structure. | - Submit ORIGINAL digital photo in any of the accepted file types (JPEG, PNG, TIFF). | |
| - If worn by a person, any identifying features such as face, tattoos, etc. should be cropped out of the photo for privacy reasons. | - If the original photo was taken using a FILM CAMERA, submit a digitized (scanned, or photographed) version of the photograph. | |
| - See Rule #13 & #14 for additional information on photo submissions. |

| 5 | Trees | 6 | Chevalure | ||||
| I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the sweet earth's flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree. | J'ai un cheval qui galope Souple comme une antilope; Un beau cheval qui prend l'air Dans mon pré imaginaire. Sur le chemin de l'école Avec moi il caracolait. Nos crinères s'enlacent Un trop court moment hélas! Et quand tombent mes paupières Je deviens son écuyère Je lui dis: Allons, pleins gaz! Du coup, il devient Pégase. |

NOTE: Poster must illustrate a benefit (or benefits) to mankind and will be judged on originality of ideas as well as quality of the art. Posters that do not describe or show a benefit will not be eligible for prize money.
Benefits of Bees: Bees are necessary to cross pollinate many plants. Without cross pollination, we would be unable to produce large crops of fruit (apples, pears, peaches, cherries, strawberries, raspberries, cranberries, blueberries etc.) Bees also cross pollinate many farm crops and greatly increase their yield (clover, canola, soybeans, etc). Many home garden vegetables also depend on bees for pollination (beans, cucumbers, pumpkins, squash, currants, melons, etc). Although honey bees are mainly kept for the honey and wax they produce, their chief benefit to us is pollination. Many wild bees also pollinate our crops (bumblebees, leaf cutter bees, etc). Honey bees are used to gather pollen for food and propolis (a resinous substance from plants) which is used by bees to seal up cracks, etc, in their home. Propolis is used by humans for medicinal purposes. Bee sting venom is also used for medicinal purposes.
