Activity Summary	A sequence or photo essay is a group of from 2 to 18 stereo slides with a written text. Sequences might more properly be called photo essays, photo-poems or songs, photo stories, mood pieces, or sermonettes. They are vehicles for conveying something from the mind of the maker to others more effectively than is possible with a single slide. There is no restriction on subject matter. Two people may collaborate on a single sequence. Entries must originate as photographs (image-captures of objects via light sensitivity) made by the entrant on photographic emulsion or acquired digitally. Images may be altered, either electronically or otherwise, by the maker and artwork or computer graphics created by the entrant may also be incorporated if the photographic content predominates. All final entries must be on photographic slide film within stereo mounts. The entrant may provide a recorded cassette tape or CD to accompany the slide sequence. This tape/CD will be played during the selection, and incorporated into the final exhibition tape if accepted. Tapes or CDs may contain narration, background music, sound effects, and/or any other audible feature, making the entry a total audio-visual package. The resulting slide program will be available for showings by many camera clubs throughout the U.S. for one year, after which sequences will be returned to the maker. Accepted sequences will be credited toward PSA Stereo Star Ratings but (according to Competition Guidelines) will not be credited toward Who's Who. Acceptance credit for accepted sequences made by multiple makers will be split between the makers. Contact the Sequence Competition Director to schedule the accepted sequences for your club. The club showing fee is $10 U.S. plus postage when the package is forwarded to the next club.   The Stereo Sequence Competition differs from regular exhibitions in a number of ways:
	• Only PSA members can enter PSA competitions. • You can enter one to three sequences. • Each sequence may have 2 to 18 stereo slides. • Each accepted sequence will be credited as 3 acceptances and 2 title credits for purposes of Star Ratings. • The First, Second and Third Place sequences will each receive 4 acceptances and 2 title credits. • Regardless of how many sequences are entered and accepted, the maximum number of credits for all accepted sequences by an entrant for each year is 8 acceptances and 4 title credits. • If two people have collaborated on an accepted sequence, the number of acceptances and title credits will be divided equally where possible. For odd numbers of acceptances in a sequence, the first listed maker will be assumed to be the primary maker, and will receive the extra acceptance credit. • Your accepted sequences will tour different U.S. photo clubs for showings during the year, and thus will not be returned for about 12-14 months.
