PHOTO EVALUATION

Photographs will be printed (format) and exposed by the organizing Committee at the beginning of the next APHIDOPHAGA congress (September 16-20, 2019). The name of the photograph will not be indicated, in order to guarantee a blind judging process. Any person who will attend the meeting will be able to vote for the three best pictures (including accompanying persons).

Judging criteria will be indicated close to the pictures and include photo quality (composition, color, and clarity) as well as technical difficulty (rare species, rare scene, logistical difficulties).

The prices will be attributed to the three best photographs, linked to Quebec products: ice cider, ice wine, maple products (to be determined).

Photos, according to the agreement of the photographer, may be sent for future use on the cover of one of the Canadian entomological journals (The Canadian Entomologist, Phytoprotection, Antennae …).

For any questions: Alice de Donder (de_donder.alice@courrier.uqam.ca).
