These five items must appear on all slides submitted for evaluation:

• Maker’s name
• La Crosse Area Camera Club
• Title of image
• Category of entry
• Thumb spot: Hold the slide by the corner with your left hand as you want the image to appear on the screen. Mark a “thumb spot” where your thumb is.

Glass mounts are not acceptable for club competitions due to the possible damage to slides if the glass mount should break. Slides may be “cropped” by using various masks or Erie slide mounts. Never use plastic or cellophane tape to mask a slide; they get gooey and can cause damage.
