| An
original cartoon, either a single panel or a strip, with a classical theme,
not necessarily the Convention theme.
BEWARE OF PLAGIARISM! Do not simply borrow an idea from a cartoon you
have seen. If you use published cartoon characters, be sure to use an
original idea. Any entry which any judge feels is plagiarized may be
disqualified by the Second Vice President and State Chair. Please be
original. Four copies
of the entry should be submitted along with one pre-Convention contest
registration form found in the Convention registration packet. The title
only may appear at the top of each copy of the entry. Maximum size is 3"x8"
for a cartoon strip and 4"x6" for a cartoon panel. Entries which do not
follow this limit are not eligible to be judged and will not be accepted.
The cartoons become the sole property of the OJCL and cannot be returned. If
there are at least 30 entries, the contest will be divided into upper and
lower levels at an appropriate point. The winning cartoon(s) will be
published in the Torch.

Computer-enhanced photography
differs from traditional photography in that it involves modifications to
a photograph via computer. This may include changing the color, changing
the background, superimposing one photo over another, adding distortions
or shadows, etc. via a computer. Entrants must describe the enhancement
process on one 8 ½ x 11 sheet of paper (or hard copy of form created via
the online entry system). For instance, you should describe any filtering
(e.g. gamma correction), cropping, or resizing. You must also state the
name of the software package used to modify the photo. You may use
original photos or photos from existing sources, but this must be
documented (title of work or website address, name of original
photographer if available).
The final product shall be
submitted in hard copy form and electronically; the registration form will
go with the hard copy, along with the one page description and any
necessary documentation. The electronic submission may be made by email or
on a CD, 3.5" diskette, or 100 MB ZIP disk. Electronic files shall not
exceed 2 MB, and the resolution shall not exceed 300 dpi. Files shall only
be submitted in the following formats: .jpg., .gif, and .png. No
animations are permitted.
Entries for this contest may only
be submitted during the period of time stated in the Convention
Registration Packet and the OhioJCL web site. Late entries will not be
judged.
