Manchester Camera Club Competitions
Manchester Camera Club holds local competitions and participates in the regional New England Camera Club Council (NECCC) competitions. Once a month, the club holds competitions in “Open” and assigned categories. “Open” has no guidelines and can be any subject taken at any time. The Competiton Subjects must be taken within one year preceding the Competition date. Identical slides or prints are not be entered in the same competition in different categories.
Competitions provide a way for Members to learn and grow as photographers and a way for members to see the work of their fellow members. The competitions are judged by three impartial judges, who are volunteers from surrounding area Photography Clubs. Its goal is to provide a fair means for members of having their work evaluated objectively.
We participate in a Judging Circuit with two other area clubs, The Photographers Forum and the Nashua Camera Club, both in Nashua. Judges are always needed for this to work. Although it is totally voluntary, members are encouraged to participate in the circuit to help keep it going. Periodically we have training sessions to help members understand judging guidelines. If you would like to participate, check the Judging Circuit Schedule for available dates.
In addition to our monthly competitions we will be adding Field Trip Critiques for 2003-2004. There will be monthly optional field trips scheduled. Two images per field trip may be entered to be critiqued and judged, but the score not added to the yearly score. The images can be in the format of slide, color, or B&W; print. There will be more on this soon!
