2021 Photography Judges:
Glen Grambo - John Perret - Pat Derbowka - Ruth Thiessen - Tara Magee - Colin Chatfield

May be of any natural subject 

Minimum 60 square inches of visible image required (e.g. 7x9”), (not including frame or mat)

Vertical and horizontal dimensions may not exceed 42 inches (includes frame) 

Must be adequately mounted, framed, and ready to hang

All entries may be created on film or digitally 

Colour and Monochromatic will be judged together 

Alterations using a normal editing process are welcome, but anything more than minor adjustments for colour, etc, should be moved to Digital Art, Division T. 

Judging emphasis on technical merit, visual impact, composition, mood, lighting and texture 


It was decided in 2016 that photographs do NOT need to be framed and under glass to be entered into the Reflections of Nature Show.

They should have a matt and they must be properly and securely mounted on to a backing. Velcro or a hanger will be used to hang them on the boards. We are NOT responsible from damage to the piece.   

We still accept framed pieces - the photographs show better and are  protected when behind glass. As well, the judges may view the framed pieces as being more professional and may feel the photographer is more serious about competing.
