We encourage all of our members to enter our competitions. It is a great way to get feedback on your images. Attending the competitions also gives you a lot of helpful information from the judges as they critique everyone's images. You can then apply that knowledge to creating your own photographs.

If you have any trouble with entering, please do not hesitate to call or email Kathy Newman. She will be glad to help you navigate the process.

Our judge will be John Powers. He will have some great insights for us, so please plan on attending the competition.
