Irving 3D Slide Competition
 

National Stereoscopic Association Convention, Irving in 2005 July 13-18, 2005

 
Rules and Information

A special stereo slide competition will be held at this year's NSA Convention in Irving, Texas.

 

Convention attendees will take stereo images, have the film developed, and mount the images while at the convention. Up to four images from each person will be submitted to the competition to be judged. All images will then be presented in a final show on July 17, 2005 with awards being given for the top scoring images.

 

The convention will provide film developing at a reasonable rate. Attendees will be required to provide that fee when submitting their film. A pick up and drop off point will be setup at the convention facility. Twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon, the film will be taken to the developer. At that time the film from the previous pick up will be returned. Attendees can pick up their film at that time. There will not be any limit to the amount of film submitted, unless imposed by the developing lab.

 

A room will be provided with equipment and supplies for mounting, graciously donated by 3DConcepts. This room will also be staffed by volunteers to help with mounting. A schedule of open hours and staffing will be posted at the film drop-off table and at the room door.
