PHOTOGRAPHY GENERAL RULES AND
REGULATIONS
Please refer to DCF General Rules & Regulations in front of Exhibitor/
Premium Book.
• Photos must have been taken within the last two years and NOT
previously exhibited at the Deschutes County Fair, including 4-H.
• You cannot enter in more than one division (Adult Novice, Adult
Advanced, etc.)
• Exhibitors can only enter photos which they have taken
themselves.
• Entry tags may be obtained at the Fair Entry Office. It is the
responsibility of the exhibitor to obtain an exhibitor’s number
and to fill out the tags completely and properly. Placement into
categories is left to your own discretion and honesty. Enter photo
into class that best describes it.
• Please title your entry tag (i.e. CATS) with the class number in
which it is being entered, so we have no question on the photo,
or the photo subject. After the exhibitor’s tag is PROPERLY
completed, fold up the bottom, remove strings and tape it to the
back of the photo on the bottom right-hand corner of the photo
as it faces you, with the entry number showing. A clip hanger is
provided by the Fair.
• The maximum picture size is 8”x12” The minimum picture
size is 5”x7”. The photo size can be anywhere between
5”x7” and 8”x12”. Example: photo can be 5”x12”.
• Total size of entries cannot exceed 8”x12”. Foam board
backing is to be the same size as your photo.
Presentation:
• Mount photo on foam core cut to size of photo. We cannot
accept construction paper.
• We will not accept wood, glass, plastic, or metal framing. Your
name and exhibitor’s number must be placed on the back of the
foam board. Pictures will not be accepted with writing on the
front of the photograph.
• The department superintendent reserves the right to reject any
exhibit on the basis of improper or inadequate presentation,
or information given on the exhibitor’s tag. Exhibitors entering
under false pretenses or violations of the rules and regulations
will not receive premiums. All exhibits will be displayed
according to the information given on the exhibit tag.
• If there is a large category, it may be divided into a smaller
subcategory by the superintendents.
• Entry Day:
• To save time, please have your photo entries in numerical
order from the lowest to the highest class number.
• Please make sure that all strings have been removed from
your tags and that your entry tag is positioned in the lower
right hand corner of your exhibit as you look at your photo.
Definitions:
Adult Novice: Person who has not won 3 blue ribbons
Adult Advanced: Professionals, highly trained and those who have
won 3 or more blue ribbons.
Youth: Age 13-15 and 16-18. (4-H participants must enter
different photos than those used for 4-H exhibit.) Youth who enter

Dept. Q – SPECIAL AWARDS
Best of Show: Adult Novice, Adult Advanced, Youth 13 - 15, Youth
16 - 18
Superintendent’s Choice
Theme Award: Fair theme will be the subject of this award. All
classes within the Dept. will be eligible to be considered for this award.
Entries will be judged on originality, ability level and approximation
to the theme. Indicate on the exhibitor tag that the entry is to be
considered by inserting the word ‘theme’ on the tag in the upper right-
hand corner. ‘Theme’ is not a class by itself. Adult and Youth will be
judged together for the ‘Theme’ award.
A $10 award will be given to each of the above awards. Two ‘Best of
Shows’ will be chosen to go on to the State Fair - 1 Adult and 1 Youth.
It is the exhibitor’s responsibility to enter, deliver, and pickup their entry
from the state fair.
