SDES Yearly Photography Contest 

It is fun and easy to be in the photography contest. First check out the rules. Then submit your photographs to webmaster@sdepis.org. 

Submit photographs between 1 September and the 2nd Wednesday in October.

The contest results will be announced at the SDES general meeting on the 2nd Wednesday in November.

The November meeting presentation will be a presentation of all photographs submitted for the contest.

This is a not-to-be-missed presentation, as our new laser projector provides amazingly accurate color rendition of these photographs on a large screen, which was never possible until now.

Photo categories galleries are Single Bloom, Multi Bloom and EpiArt. 
Quick look at contest guidelines:
  • Contest categories are Single Bloom, Multi-Bloom and EpiArt.
