Jurassic Coast International
Audio Visual Salon 2022

2022/042

Welcome to the Jurassic Coast International AV Salon. This event has taken the place of the previous “Bridgend 5-8 Photo Harmony Competition”, which was successfully run by Bridgend Camera Club from 2008 to 2020. Exmouth Photo Group has taken over the running of the event and this is our second year. We have expanded the competition into two sections: Photo Harmony and Open.

Why Jurassic Coast? Exmouth is at the western end of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, which runs for ninety-five miles to Old Harry Rocks in Dorset. Our logo shows the Geoneedle, which marks its start.

Photo Harmony

A Photo Harmony sequence is a progression of still images linked to sound. No words or a story with a specific beginning, middle and ending are required. The emphasis is on matching high-quality images with appropriate transitions and harmonising them with the sound. The sequence should be constructed so that images progress harmoniously in terms of colour or tone and graphic design. The aim is not to display images which may be excellent when considered individually but which fail to harmonise with each other and with the sound chosen. It is recommended that the sound and the images start and finish together and that the original ending of the music is preserved rather than an arbitrary fade-out.

Open

AVs entered in the Open section will be judged using internationally accepted criteria, where the quality and appropriateness of the images and the sound track, how those two interrelate and of the concept/production, will all contribute to the overall judgment. The choice of subject is entirely at the author's discretion.
