Process to Submit Photographs Please read through the required information list below. A link to the online submission form is at the bottom of this page. Only teachers can submit student photographs. In addition to logging in or creating an account for the K12HSN, teachers will need the following information to complete the entry form for the 2011 CaliforniaStreaming Digital Photography Contest. The 2011 theme "1,000 Words,"
ties to California Writing Standards across many grade levels. As
the saying goes, a picture is worth 1,000 words. Judges will look for
photographs that tell a compelling story. And since words can help tell
that story, entries should be accompanied by a brief essay or expanded
caption that helps give context to the photograph. First and foremost,
this is a photography contest. So while the writing is important, each
photo entry should stand on its own. It is suggested that teachers who are submitting student photographs, gather the information in advance then copy and paste into the text fields. Particularly note the required student questions in #10. 1. Photograph Title 2. Year Photograph Taken 3. School Site Information: CTAP Region (see http://myctap.org/index.php/ctap-regions--NOTE: If you are in Alameda, Contra Cost, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, or Solano counties, select Region 4; if you are in Monterey, San Benito, Santa Clara, or Santa Cruz county, select Region 5); County, District, School (private schools will manually enter data) 4. Teacher Information: Name, Email, Phone 5. Student Information: Name, Grade, Age 6. Project Details: Technology Used, Digital Camera, Film then Scanned, Image Editing Software, Other 7. If the photograph was part of of a larger project that is on a website, please indicate website URL (if applicable). 8. Check-box selection of subjects that match the photograph (from a pre-determined set of terms or keywords) and other keywords. 9. Grade Levels the Subject or Subjects in #10 would best match. 10. Student Questions (Note: Although this is a photography contest, students should take care in composing answers to the following three questions. The writing element may be described as an enhanced caption and judges will consider the quality of the responses as well as the age of the student.): -Describe specifically where you were when you took this photograph? -Describe how your photograph relates to this year's contest theme, "1,000 Words." -Is there anything else you would like the contest judges to know?
