Announcing the 2012 1066MFC Photo Competition

  1066MFC Photo Competition

Following the fantastic turn out of Media over 2011 in our Annual Photo Competition, and sheer amount of activity and interest it generated we felt duty-bound to hold such a competition this year.

After much deliberation the Committee have fine-tuned the guidelines and rules for this year’s Photo Competition. We tried not to over complicate things and keep the format simple for us and those having the difficult task of judging all the wonderful media entries.

Please remember, to submit as many photos as you like but do only submit 1 photo of each subject, if you’ve taken 20 great pictures of you’re Piper Cub, we only want see the best one (we don’t want to see all 20). If you’ve taken an Aerial Photo of the strip, then just pick you’re best one and upload this.

Before you do upload, please rename the image file so that it starts with the Category name that you wish to enter the picture in.

 For example “Pauls Cub” would read “Model Static Pauls Cub”

The Categories:

Video

Full size Static

Full size Flying

Model Static

Model Flying

Model Air to Air

Model Air to ground
