EVENT DESCRIPTION
The 39th Annual North Shore Photographic Challenge will be hosted by The North Shore Photographic Society (NSPS) on Saturday March 4, 2023. This educational and entertaining afternoon and evening will once again feature a keynote speaker presentation at 4:30 PM (Pacific Time) and showcase the highest levels of photographic art across a wide variety of genres starting at 7:00 PM (Pacific Time).
The North Shore Photographic Challenge is the premier photographic competition in Western Canada, welcoming entries from individual photographers and camera clubs throughout British Columbia and Yukon Territory. The competition theme is open, with a wide range of subject matter, including stunning landscapes, altered reality, abstracts, portraits, architecture, wildlife, nature, architecture and more. Winners will be recognized with Canadian Association for Photographic Art (CAPA) medals.
The 2023 Challenge event will be held on Zoom, allowing both competitors - and those interested in viewing excellent photographic art - to attend from wherever they have an Internet connection.
KEYNOTE PRESENTATION
A highlight of the 2023 North Shore Challenge event will be the keynote presentation, Painting vs Photography: a history, rivalry, and unlikely victory, by noted professional photographer Adrien Veczan. Adrien will explore how the invention of photography disrupted the art world; how photography tried but failed to render painting obsolete, and what each medium can learn from the other. He’ll discuss the complicated relationship between painting and photography; the areas where they conflicted; the ways photography helped painters; and finally, what he thinks photographers can gain from painting.
THE NORTH SHORE PHOTOGRAPHIC CHALLENGE COMPETITION
Competition entries will be scored by a panel of judges completely independent of NSPS, to determine the winning images. Prestigious CAPA medals will be awarded to the winners in two categories. 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes will go to the highest-scoring images submitted by clubs, and 1st 2nd and 3rd prizes will go to the highest-scoring entries submitted by individuals.
The top-scoring image of all the entries will be awarded the Best In Show medal. The coveted North Shore Photographic Challenge trophy will be awarded to the photo club that achieves the highest aggregate score for its images submitted.
*** Entries are no longer being accepted for the 2023 North Shore Challenge competition. ***
Good luck to all competitors!!
