Our first Ohio International Stereo Exhibition
was held in April of 2001.
Jim Motley was the Chairman. We had 77 entrants entering 308 stereo
slides from 18 different US states and 8 different countries. The judges (John
Waldsmith, George Themelis, Ron Wilson) selected 149 stereo slides that made
the exhibition. It took 8 people and 4-5 hours to complete the selection. The
projection was done with a TDC projector. The PSA Gold Metal went to David
Kesner for "Spike". Ron Fross won the "Best OSPS
Entry". I helped Jim by taking care of the PSA requirements,
preparing the entry forms, voting cards and catalogs. The experience is detailed
in a 2 page article in the June 2001 (5.10) Stereogram by Jim and myself. It is
quite interesting to read this today: FirstOSPSExhibition.pdf.

This first exhibition was a LOT of hard work. So hard,
that we skipped a year, and held the 2nd OSPS Stereo Exhibition in 2003. This
time I was the Chairman. We had 212 slides from 53 entrants and accepted 95. The
PSA Gold Metal went to Dennis Hanser for "Gull &
Lighthouse". We
only had two OSPS members enter this exhibition (Ron Wilson and Joe
Hamblin, Joe won the "Best OSPS Entry" award.) We were able to
show this exhibition in our first 3D Stereoscopic Weekend, which was held on May
3-4, 2003.
2003 Judges: Chuck Weiss, Dennis
Petti, John Waldsmith.

And then... silence. No one wanted to Chair this event again because it was
really a lot of work. You have to apply with PSA, find judges, set dates, create
catalogs, accept entries by mail, organize them, organize the judging, select
the accepted entries, show the exhibition in at least two different places
(required by PSA), mail report cards, create and mail catalogs, return all
entries by mail. A lot of work!
Skip 7 years forward. In the Fall of 2010, with digital
imaging making exhibition entry, organization, judging and presentation easier,
we decided to explore the possibility of resuming the Ohio Stereo Exhibition. We
established a judging date in April that allowed us to show the exhibition at the
2011 3D Weekend in May. The 3rd Ohio International Stereo Exhibition was a great
success, with over 262 images submitted from 66 entrants.
The exhibition has been conducted continuously since 2011. See
pictures and details below.
