INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION STANDARDS

Proposed changes to the TDS International Exhibitions Standards.

In these times of economic crisis, the International Exhibitions Standards Committee will meet on the first of April to approve cost reductions for stereo exhibitions. Proposed changes include:

  1. Increasing the number of submitted stereo slides from four to four and a half, allowing use of that odd frame at the end of the film roll.

  2. Reducing stereo print sizes to allow use of postcard postage rates and prepaid envelopes.

  3. Limiting digital entries to only 16 trillion colours.

  4. Adding a new anaglyph print section for low-cost monochrome prints. The viewing glasses will be clear (white) and black.

  5. Floor-mounted phantogram prints will be limited in size; the infinity point will be no further away than the length of a toilet paper roll.

  6. Stereo print exhibitions can continue to use those judges blind in one eye. However, such judges must be able to blink their good eye at 30 Hz while moving their heads side-to-side (cha-cha) at the same rate.

  7. All exhibition awards will be digital and emailed to the winners, who can print their award on their favourite paper, t-shirt, or coffee cup.

  8. Entry fees can be paid by cash, check, or defaulted mortgage loans.

  9. Excess entry fees will be returned, except in California where you will receive an IOU.

  10. Sorry, these changes cannot be debated. They must be passed now so that 500 million stereo photographers will not be put out of work.
