CLASS 5601. Portrait/Candid’s

Facial expression, posed subjects, anatomy, candid shots of human activity. 5602. Scenic/Nature These pictures include landscapes, outdoor scenes, nature images, sunsets, urban landscapes, seascapes, cityscapes, and farms. These images showcase outdoor beauty. 5603. Red River Valley Fair (Last 2 Years) 5604. Collage 5605. Animals (These contest entries are images of all kinds of animals) 5606. Elements of Design These artistic images make good use of graphic elements of design. We are looking for photos that showcase line, shape, pattern, form, texture, perspective, etc. They can consist of any subject matter, i.e. Perspective, Line, and Pattern. 5607. Digital Darkroom This category is appropriate for digital art - images created or drastically altered in software like Adobe Photoshop®. Although digitally manipulated images are also allowed in the above categories, this is a category exclusively showcasing such art. If the digital darkroom work is the main attraction of the photo, or plays a big part, enter it here. 5608. Travel & Place This category includes images that express the joys and adventures of travel photography, showcasing place as an important part of the photo. Note: If you enter a photo into this category, it's a good idea to include the place name in the title or description of your photo. Like the Scenic and Nature category, this category can include landscapes, outdoor scenes, nature images, sunsets, urban landscapes, seascapes, cityscapes, etc., but it can also include people, details, and other subjects you might encounter while traveling. The main idea for photos in this category is they express a sense of place. 5609. Flowers We are looking for really interesting, unique, and beautiful pictures of flowers in this category. They can be shot outdoors, photographed in the studio, utilizing macro lenses and modes, and at any angle of view. Floral portraits - rose, iris, daisy, tulip... you name it. Fields of wildflowers; macro images of flowers. 5610. Details & Macro Getting in close is the name of the game for this category. We welcome pictures of small details that suggest a larger story. This is also the place for macro photographs (although a macro image of a flower might equally go into the Flowers category). Details might include a knot, a lock, or an abstract close-up. Anything goes as long as it is a tight composition of a detail. Macro - flowers, insects, stamps, ice crystals, etc. 5611. Black & White 5612. Catch-All If you have a photo that you love (that doesn't seem to fit into the other categories of nature, landscape, people,

animals, design, digital darkroom, travel, place, flowers, macro, details, or the yearly theme), enter it into this category. Final Thoughts: The contests are open to all photographers, regardless of skill level. In the end, a photo may fit into more than one category. For example, a landscape with strong lines leading up to a person, that you photographed in Tibet, might reasonably get categorized in Scenic and Nature, People, Elements of Design, or the Travel & Place category.

All entry applications must be made out on the printed forms, and must be filled out correctly and completely. Incorrect or incomplete entries will be returned. Entries will be taken on a first come first served basis.

Barn space is limited and when the barns are full all other entries will be returned. Entries listing male or female animal and no other information are not considered complete entries and will not be accepted.

Exhibitors are responsible for entering their animals in the appropriate shows.

Protest: All protests must be made in writing and accompanied by a deposit of $50. Deposit will be forfeited if the protest is not sustained. Such protest must state plainly the cause of complaint or appeal and must be filed with the fair manager within 24 hours of show completion. All expenses incurred because of protest will be the responsibility of protester regardless of results. No complaint or appeal based upon the statement that the judge or judges are incompetent will be considered. Where a protest is made against competition of an animal, notice should be filed with the superintendent of the department before the class is passed upon, so that the judges may be instructed to place a reserve award, that premiums be properly distributed in the event the protest is sustained.

Forage: Straw, hay and chips may be purchased on the grounds. Purchases can be made in respective barns with times posted in respective barns. Straw is not allowed in barns. Chips are $7.00 / bag. Straw & Hay prices are posted in the barns.

In the case where special premiums, trophies or awards are offered by breed associations or others, detailed reports must be filled out by the superintendent indicating the source of the award, the winner of the award, and the distribution of the award. In the instance where a premium is figured on a percentage basis the complete breakdown and formula used must be filed with the fair office.

Where there are fewer entries in a class than the number of premiums offered, judges may, at their discretion, award a prize or prizes of such grade as the animals deserve.

Judges shall report to the superintendent any exhibitor who in any way, whether in person, by agents, or assistants, interferes during the adjudication, or shows any disrespect to them. The superintendent shall, at his discretion, demand a proper apology from such exhibitor, or he may be excluded from such competition and the Board may withhold any premiums that have been awarded him/her, and expel him/her from further competition at the Fair.

The judge and the person acting as clerk to the judge must enter awards properly in the award book and ensure that registered names and numbers of all animals are given.

All claims and payroll must be certified by superintendent and filed with the fair manager.

Each superintendent must take charge of the books and return them promptly to thefair manager’s office as soon as each is judged. No changes will be allowed in the judge’s book unless by order of the Board. It shall be the duty of the superintendent at the close of the Fair to make such suggestions for improvements as said occur to them during the Fair.

Fast Driving or Riding of any description will not be permitted within the grounds. Any violation of this rule will be severely dealt with by the Management and the guilty person removed from the grounds. Automobiles are prohibited in any section of the grounds whenever safety demands.
