Policy adopted by the Potton Heritage Association
Board of Directors

• The 2014 photo contest of the Potton Heritage Association (PHA) will take place during the Potton Multicultural Festival (PMF), on August 9th, 2014.
• The 2014 theme is: What is your most beautiful landscape ?
• The contest is open to all, residents of Potton or not. Members of the Board of directors of the PHA and their families can participate, but are not eligible for any prizes.
• Photos must be taken in the Township of Potton.
• Each candidate can submit a maximum of three (3) photos in printed format. Since space is limited at the Festival, the Association could reduce the number of photos per participant. In such a case, the Association will ask participants to choose their best picture for the contest.
• Printed photos must be in 8’’ x 10’’ or 8’’ x 12’’ format and can be in colour or black and white.
• On the back of the photo, each candidate must indicate where the picture was taken, his name, phone number, email and mailing address.
• All photos for the contest must be mailed, in printed format, to: Potton Heritage Association, C.P. 262, Mansonville, QC J0E 1X0 or submitted to Christian Smeesters, 3, chemin Maurice Côté, Mansonville, QC J0E 1X0 at least one week before the PMF, i.e. by August 2nd, 2014.
• Printed photos can be recuperated by contacting Christian Smeesters after the contest.
• The Association would like to have a digital copy of the photos in a jpg format (no more than 2 megs) in order to post them on the Web site. These should be sent at  to the following email address: concoursphoto@patrimoinepotton.org  or given on a USB key to Christian Smeesters. Each digital photo should be identified in the same way as the printed copy. The printed photos are essential, but the digital copies are optional.
• Three (3) winners will be chosen by the public at the PMF.
• The 3 winners will be offered a foam core mount of their winning photo, in view of participating in an exhibition in the fall.
• By submitting photos to the contest, candidates automatically authorize the Potton Heritage Association to use them for its website, publications or other exhibits; the authors will be clearly identified. No compensation will be given for this use.
