The Great Southwest Award

sponsored by Trilogy Photography Club

This award, which applies only in the Projected Images Division, is presented to a Projected Image in any category. Most importantly, the image must communicate to the viewer “This is a great photo of the American Southwest.”

The subject matter may be the amazing geography of the arid desert to the deciduous woodlands and evergreens, or the wide variety of flora such as saguaro cacti, Joshua trees, cottonwoods to name just a few, or the many critters and creatures in our midst like rattlesnakes, scorpions, roadrunners, wild horses and the like, or the Southwestern people such as Native Americans, ranch hands, agricultural workers and others. In addition, the image must be well-composed and tack sharp, and have good lighting, appropriate exposure, and strong impact.
