Rules
Background
The basic aims of the Boyne Riders Photographic Rally 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.
The Rules
There are twenty-four subjects. Take a photograph of the nominated subject, be creative if you desire, but include your motorcycle (and pillion passenger if entered).
Between February and November 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.
There are three categories of Badge – Gold, Silver and Bronze – for photographing 24, 18 and 12 subjects respectively.
The bronze award (12 locations) is the minimum entry accepted.
Please respect these & any other considerations as may be relevant. Be careful and do enjoy yourself. In the context of motorcycle riding the event is strictly non competitive.
The organisers accept no liability for damage or loss however they might arise. All participants take part entirely at their own risk & are subject to all rules & regulations as apply to traffic &/or trespass.
There’s no need to pre register; simply submit your photos no later than Fri. Nov 27th. 2009 (no exceptions).
Post your entry to the address on the entry form. Your entry should include:
- your printed photographs. Each photograph should be labeled (they look much better in an album).
- your photographs on a CD in JPEG fromat; you may submit as many photos as you like but those that form your photo entry should be in a separate folder titled photo rally entry
- a completed and signed entry form
- a cheque for the €10 registration fee
