Salvatore’s - South Hills of Pittsburgh
Saturday, April 16, 2022
Event will be held rain or shine
The CoasterBash! tradition continues in 2022, six weeks after the originally scheduled date and after a roller coaster ride of changes. The Covid-19 pandemic has certainly created challenges for this off-season event. In January as the Omicron variant was surging in the region, it was moved to the open-air setting of Kennywood's largest pavilion. Then, just weeks before the event, it was learned that the pavilion wouldn't be available as planned. With the the number of new Covid cases significantly subsided, it was decided to move the event back to it's original location -- Salvatore's Events & Catering, on the new date of April 16. Got all that?
The one thing for certain is that you can count on CoasterBash! XXXIII including most of the activities that attendees have come to expect, including a wide variety of presentations, an all-you-can-eat dinner, unlimited soft drinks, the CoasterBash! Photo Contest, a cash bar, the ACE Preservation Fund Sales Table, vendors, a silent auction, A Chinese Auction and door prizes.

PHOTO CONTEST
Rules & Procedures
1) The Ninth Annual CoasterBash! Photo Contest is open to any current ACE member who is attending CoasterBash! The contest coordinator is Jason Ballard (contact: jason.ballard67@gmail.com).
2) Each entrant may submit no more than two unframed photographs. Each photo must be original and have been taken by the entrant. Photos may have either a glossy or a matte finish and may be printed in color, black and white or sepia tone.
Photographs may not be smaller than 8 x 10 inches and no larger than 11 x 14 inches. If the photograph has a border, the picture area still must be no smaller than 8 x 10 inches and the entire photo, including border, no larger than
11 x 14 inches. Photographs may not be attached to a matte or framing board. No photograph may have the entrant’s identification anywhere on it.
3) Submitted photos must be roller coaster-related. Though other attractions may appear, any photo not showing an existing or a defunct roller coaster will not be accepted for entry into the contest. No on-ride photos will be accepted. Any gestures, wording or subject matter contained within a photograph that may be viewed as offensive will disqualify the photo.
Any winning (top three) photo from any previous CoasterBash! or any other ACE photo contest is ineligible.
4) Each entrant’s photograph(s) shall be submitted at the event on April 16, 2022, between the hours of 1:30 and 3:00 p.m. All entrants must provide the name of all coaster(s) and park(s) featured in each photograph entered.
5) All entries will be displayed for viewing at the time and location specified on the official CoasterBash! schedule distributed to all attendees at the event. The deadline for casting ballots will also be specified on the official schedule. As with all event activities, this information is subject to change, and in such an instance, due notice will be given through various announcements.
6) Care and precautions will be taken to protect all entered photographs. However, each participant must use every precaution to protect their photos, as neither ACE Western Pennsylvania nor the Photo Contest Coordinator and other volunteers will be held responsible for any stolen, lost or damaged property.
7) Winning photographs will be chosen by popular vote. Each CoasterBash! attendee will receive one official voting ballot at registration check-in on arrival at the event. No other ballots, including replacements for lost ballots, will be distributed or accepted. CoasterBash! attendees will be able to indicate on their ballots their choices for first, second and third place. Each first place vote will earn three points; each second place vote will earn two points; and each third place vote will receive one point. No photograph may be voted for more than once on any single ballot, and any such action will void the entire ballot. The three entries with the highest number of points will be awarded first, second and third place, respectively. Any winning entry may not be re-entered into any future CoasterBash! photo contests.
8)
Winning photographs and entrants will be announced near the end of the event’s presentation program. Awards will be presented for each of the winning entries. All winning entries become the property of ACE Western
Pennsylvania and will be retained for possible publication in a future issue of an ACE publication and/or inclusion on one or more of ACE’s websites, with proper credit and identification.
9) Non-winning photographs may be reclaimed from the Photo Contest coordinator and volunteers at the end of the event, once the presentation program has ended.
10) The ACE Western Pennsylvania Regional Representative or Contest Coordinator reserves the right to revise the schedule that is described or implied herein. The interpretation of these rules by the contest coordinator is final. Contact the contest coordinator with any questions or comments.
