to age limit.

The other rules governing this competition are the same as those in the
Competition open for those who have not passed their eighteenth
birthday. Special attention is called to Rules 3 and 7.

JUDGING.

Each picture submitted in either competition will be judged: 1.
Originality; 2. Artistic merits of composition; 3 Illustrative value; 4.
Technical excellence of finish. The one having the highest percentage
receiving the highest award in each class, etc. Pictures which fail to
take a prize, the percentage of which is over seventy, will receive
honorable mention.

Please pay special attention to the different dates at which the classes
close. This plan has been adopted to simplify the work of handling the
pictures. Photographs which do not take prizes or are not retained for
publication will be returned to the senders at the close of the
competition if postage is enclosed.

Watch this column for hints in regard to finishing pictures. Class No.
