Judging will be by a panel of L-3 employees. Any L-3 employees that do not have a picture entered in a category may volunteer to judge that category. The top 5 photos in each category will be displayed in the lobby of Bldg 111.
Prizes:
The winner in each category will receive $75 and will be eligible for the grand prize. Four runner-ups for each category will receive $15.

Guidelines for professional vs. amateur:
If someone has a business name and/or is promoting their work or themselves for hire in any manner excluding word of mouth between friends, they should be considered a professional. For example, if a person has a website where the intent is for showcasing their work for profit, or if they advertise their work through business cards, newspapers or periodicals, they should be considered a professional.
If someone is getting paid for taking pictures on a rare occasion via word of mouth through mutual friends, or as a result of the E-Club photo contest, or performing an occasional "paid service" job, or selling a picture or two now and then, does not make them a professional.
The grand prize winner for the 2009 photo contest is Cristina Boone (B&W railroad tracks). 2nd place winner is Lore' Dickerson (bald eagle). The 3rd place winner is Cristina Boone (motorcycle). Congratulations to all participants in the photo contest. Winning pictures can be viewed in Bldg 111 Lobby beginning Feb 1.
