The basic aims of the Boyne Riders Photographic Rally are unchanged, as in previous years they are:
- To encourage people to get “out there” on their motorbike(s) and have some fun. “Out there” (it is hoped), will either be off the beaten track or feature an interesting subject, preferably both?
- An interest in photography is not essential, however it just might add to the enjoyment of the event.
- In the context of motorcycle riding, the event is not competitive. Badges are awarded for photographing a preset number of locations. Certificates will be awarded for best photo, best set of photos, oldest bike, and smallest bike etc.
- Again – as is now traditional - the number of subjects is twenty-four.
- There are three categories of Badge - Gold, Silver and Bronze - for photographing 24, 18 and 12 subjects respectively.
- A special overall award will be awarded again this year for the best additional photo – not connected with the listed locations – that most closely conveys, depicts or somehow encapsulates the spirit of motorcycling in Ireland for 2008, as you interpret it.
- You’ve got until November 28 to visit as many of the listed locations as you choose, in any order you wish, by whatever route pleases you, alone or accompanied as your prejudices dictate. Take a photograph of the nominated subject, be creative if you desire, but include your motorcycle (and pillion passenger if entered) and do seriously consider an entry for that special overall award.
