The 1949 competition’s top hon ors were won by Richard Crummy, 15->’ear-,old freshman at the Oratory School in Summit, New Jersey. Crummy’s photo—a simple picture of a farm horse outside a barn—'Was one of seven of the major prize winners taken by students who were 16 years of age or younger. Many of the prize-winning pictures were taken with inexi>ensive cameras. The 1950 contest opens January 12 and closes April 14, 1950. Any picture taken since the close of the 1949 Awards—on May 7, 1949—is eligible for entry, except color pic tures or retouched black-and-w'hites or “trick” photos made from more than one negative. Picture takers can submit as many photos as they desire in any of the four classes of entry. In each class a first prize of $100, a second prize of $75, and a third prize of $50 will be awarded. In addition to these prizes, and the $500 Grand Prize for the best pic ture in the comi>etition, twelve spec ial prizes of $25 each, 48 honorable mentions of $10 each, and 264 hon orable mentions of $5 each wdll be awarded. Pictures of school life and school activities—just like those you make for the school newspaper or year book—and pictures taken to show life around town, sports, and for fine art purposes are the types wanted. The classics of entry are as fol lows : 1) School Life—For pictures of the type your school yearbook or paper could or should use . . . pic tures of all sorts of school activities (except sports and athletics; see Class 3) in class, in assembly, in social affairs, clubs, school projects, and all the thousand-and-one in- teresifs that together mean “school.” 2) Fine Art—A special class for pictures made with artistic intent. The subject does not matter, but the “handling” does. This is the class for scenics in town or coun try, for architedtural studies, for creative close-ups of animate or in- anima,te subjects, for any picture carefully composed and so photo graphed that it will command the respect of artists and fine pho tographers. • 3) Sports—Here is the class for your pictures of sports and ath letics, in school or out, wherever you and the gang gather to play or to watch others play ... at the sta- 'diuin, in the gym, out at the town’s ball park, in somebody’s table ten nis room, or the bowling alley, or •Out on a sandlot diamond. Action shots, side-iline details, pictures of frenzied fans . . . anything related to sports. 4) Everyday Life—For pictures of life in your community outside school.. They’ll show’ goings-on- about-to-wn, your family, your friends, their neighbors and irheir i>abies, pets, and hobbies. They’ll show’ what you do on holidays and in camp; they’ll show’ postmen, aviators, traffic cops, clergymen— all sorts of people, places, and things. A man from Mars would learn from these pictures how we Earthlings live.
