RECREATION COMPETITION. 



In the future, we shall hold a competition 

 every two months, instead of once a year, 

 as heretofore. For the present we shall give 

 cash prizes only, one first prize of $10.00, one 

 second prize of $5.00, and five consolation 

 prizes of $1.00 each. These prizes are open 

 to all our readers. An additional prize of 

 $2.00 will be given for the best picture sub- 

 mitted by the amateur who has not pre- 

 viously won a prize in any of our competi- 

 tions. 



So that there may be no misunderstanding, 

 we have made the following conditions, 

 which will hold good on these bi-monthly 

 competitions until further notice. 



1. There will be one first prize of $10.00 

 in gold, one second prize of $5.00 in gold, 

 and five consolation prizes of $1.00 each. 

 Also one additional prize of $2.00 for the 



best picture submitted by an amateur, not 

 previously a winner in our competitions. 



2. The awards will be made by the Editor 

 of Recreation and his decision shall be final. 



3. All photographs submitted will become 

 the property of Recreation, but no photo- 

 graph will be reproduced, other than the 

 prize winners, without the payment of $1.00 

 to its owner for its use. 



4. Photographs should be on glossy or 

 matt smooth-surface papers. Sepia and col- 

 ored platinums and carbons do not reproduce 

 well. Solio or smooth velox prints are the 

 best. Photographs should be sent flat, not 

 rolled. A description of the picture will 

 make it more valuable. 



5. Any subject representing outdoor life 

 or sport may be depicted. We do not want 

 pictures of birds or animals in captivity.
