We are searching for the most creative people in the daylily world. Here's what we found in 2012:
Do you also dream about the perfect daylily? Do you do needlework, collage, stained glass, draw, paint, sculpt, bake incredible cakes, or play with photoshop? Would you like to display your creation for the world to see, and maybe even win a fantastic daylily in the process? If so, consider taking a digital photo and entering your creation in the
Fantasy Daylily Contest.
Guidelines:
Submit your entries between December 15, 2012 and January 15, 2013.
We are looking for fantasy daylilies, daylilies that do not yet exist, potential daylilies of the future or even completely impossible daylilies. We are not looking for representations of real daylilies.
All entries must show at least one entire bloom.
Any media that can be captured in a jpg (file extensions .jpg, .jpeg or .jpe).
Please take the photograph before you sign your work. Entries are identified only by number until the voting is over.
No animation. No gifs, no gifs saved as jpgs, no moving parts whatsoever.
Size your jpg to be no more than 800 pixels across the longest side and 250Kbytes or smaller.
One entry per person.
US and Canadian contestants only. We regret that, since the prizes will be living plants and overseas shipment would be cost prohibitive, we must limit the contest. However, voters from outside North America will be encouraged.
Membership in the American Hemerocallis Society is not a requirement.
Email your submission as an attachment to:
lindalmichaels@yahoo.com
All submissions will be displayed on John Peat's www.distinctly.on.ca website. Additionally, all submissions will be included in a PowerPoint presentation, with the creator's name included (your name in lights! Or at least Arial Rounded MT Bold in 30 point type face) to be given at a future meeting of the Buffalo Area Daylily Society and later available to other interested clubs.
Prizes will be announced in December, 2012.
Voting will take place from January 16-31, 2013.
John Peat and Linda Michaels
