IAI International Educational Conference

On Tuesday, August 6th, at the 98th International Educational Conference, individuals will have an opportunity to participate in a Photo Contest sponsored by Forensic Pieces. There will be categories for Forensic and Creative entries. There are 1st, 2nd & 3rd place prizes awarded in each category. There will also be a “People’s Choice Award” chosen by the conference attendees.

The theme for the Creative category this year will be “Waves” in keeping with the theme of the conference, “Navigating the Waves of Forensics”. But this theme should be considered in the broad sense and not just as it relates to water. Use your imagination and creativity.

Following are the photo entry specifics (please note there have been changes):

• Maximum two (2) entries per competitor
• Any subject matter may be used (e.g. crime scene and evidentiary photos for “Forensic” category, and nature, artsy or personal photos utilizing the “Waves” theme for the “Creative” category)
• Photos may be in black & white or color
• Size specifications: All sides must be at least 16” and no more than 24”
• Photos must be mounted on foam board with no borders, no frames and no matting.
• An 8½” x 11” Photo Contest Entry Label (provided upon registration) must be completed and mounted on foam board with no borders and submitted with your photo entry. The description/technical data should be no greater than 100 words, 16 point type.
• Participants may only win one award in each category

Competitors must bring their photo submission and entry label to the Speaker Registration area at the conference no later than 4:00pm on Monday, August 5 to be eligible for judging. The photo contest entries will be displayed and prizes will be awarded to the winners on Tuesday, August 6th during the vendor reception. More specific instructions will be provided through email upon registration. It is the responsibility of the presenter to insure his/her photo is picked up in the vendor area by noon on Wednesday, August 7th.

The registration deadline is July 22, 2013.
