Don’t forget that the club events contest is May 8th. 

There will be a Novice and an Unlimited category. You may submit one color and one monochrome digital image from each club event you attended during the club year. This will only be digital. No prints. All submitted images shall be judged regardless of the number of submissions.

Club events include any field trip, meeting, gathering, tabletop night, portrait night, photowalk, fundraisers, meet & shoots, the summer picnic, the Christmas party, campfires, exhibits, and last year’s club banquet.

Two “Best in show” awards are made: Novice and Unlimited. Each award wins free club membership.

Go back through your files from the 2024-2025 club year and pull out your favorite photos from all the club events.
