American Kitefliers Association

Ah, Spring!  Time for kite flying.  And time to start the KAP season.  Whether you're a old hand or a first-time KAP photographer this season, please consider submitting some of your work to the AKA's own KAP Photo competition.

Competition Rules and Procedures:
AKA members in attendance at the convention will vote on their favorite aerial images, and an award will be given for the image with the most votes.

1. Photographs submitted must have been taken by the contestant.
2. Photographs submitted must have been made by lifting a camera with a kite.
3. The photographer must be a member in good standing of AKA at the time of the convention.
4. Up to three images may be submitted by the photographer.
5. Images that have received awards in any other competition are not eligible.
6. Images must be submitted as prints & mounted on matte board. There are no size limitations, but keep in mind that display space will be limited, and/or may be horizontal, e.g., flat on a table.
7. No signature, title, name, or explanatory text may appear on the face of the mounted print.

An information sheet must accompany each submission, containing image title, photographer's name and address, image location, month and year image was taken, medium (digital or film), make of camera and kite, and brief description of any manipulation of the finished image.

Judging will be held at the AKA Convention in Wildwood, NJ on October 1, 2011. 

Entries can be submitted at Convention by those attending in person or may be shipped in advance to a person yet to be designated.  (Details on shipping information and receiving deadline will be posted here when they become available.)
