General
instructions and rules: To
enter exhibits, one must be a resident of Cochise County at the time
of entry. There is no
entry fee.
Color
film (including slides) may be commercially processed; however, color
prints with the exception of Class 172 must be processed by the
exhibitor. Hand coloring,
polaroid prints, 2¼” x 2¼” and larger transparencies, and other
special photographic arts and crafts not included in the competition
categories may be submitted in Class 175 - Special Photographic
categories. Such entries are encouraged and Lots will be established
if three or more entries are received which can logically be grouped
for judging. Additional
photographic material may be exhibited only if space is available, but
will not be judged.
No
entries which have previously won any place in any category at the
Cochise Country Fair within the last five years may be submitted.
Judges may use their discretion in making awards and have the
right to disqualify an entry which they determine to be out of
category, does not comply with the rules, or is inappropriate for the
exhibit.
Entries
must be accompanied by a Cochise County Fair entry form properly
filled in. Only one form
is required for each person exhibiting regardless of the number of
Lots and entries. Use one
line for entry, putting the title of the entry in the “Description
of Articles or Animals” column.

Special
Rules:
Minimum print size, 80 square inches (8 x 10) up to a
maximum matted print size of 16 x 20 inches (length x width). All
prints must be matted with, or mounted on, heavy cardboard or matboard
so that the photograph will stay rigid when hung.
Prints in frames will not be accepted.
Only one print per mount.
Exhibitor’s name, mailing address, the Class and Lot Numbers,
as well as the title of the photograph, must be put on the backside of
the mount.
Tape
the exhibitor’s tag, by the string, so that the tag can be draped
over the top corner of the photo.
This allows Fair visitors to see who the entrant is and the
part of the County from which the photograph comes.
If
there is any question as to which way the photo should be displayed
please indicate “TOP” and “BOTTOM” on the back of the print.
