From the Antelope Valley Press:

 PALMDALE - The city is seeking photos of individuals, their families, and friends that were taken during past Thursday Night on the Square events for a special attraction that will be featured at this summer's festivities

The Merrimack Valley Camera Club (MVCC) will host and conduct the next annual George W. Glennie Nature Salon on Saturday, March 27, 2010 at the Trinitarian Congregational Church, Elm Street, North Andover, MA (or at a nearby location, to be announced). This salon is open to all camera clubs and photographic associations worldwide.

The deadline for submissions to the LPA site is March 9, 2010. (Be sure to select the George Glennie Competition on the submission form!)

All clubs in the NECCC will be invited to participate. Each participating organization may submit 10 images, with no more than 2 by each maker.

In the event that 2 or more clubs inadvertently submit images by the same maker, only the earliest entries will qualify for individual and club awards. The other entries will be judged but are ineligible for any awards, club or individual. Also ineligible are all slides and digital images that have received awards in previous Glennie salons and exhibitions.

There will be Club Awards for those receiving the 4 highest scores. The individual awards will include Best of Show, Best Animal, Best Bird, Best Botany, Best General Subject, Best Insect or Arachnid, and Best Landscape. Additional categories may be opened, dependent upon entry levels. A number of individual Honor Awards will also be presented, based on the level of submissions in each category.

Congratulations to all our members and friends who contributed to the success of this year’s Photography Exhibit.  We’ve received many favorable comments from the public and from the fair staff on how good everything looks.

There were 55 different members and 3 friends who took part in everything, including planning, our digital committee, decorating, clerking, take-in, picture hanging, monitoring the exhibit and photo release and clean-up.  Quite a few of our most dedicated members put in many hours to accomplish everything necessary to make it a success.  There were many more members who wished to work with us, but their work or health just wouldn’t allow it.

This was our annual event to discuss the rules for the Photography Exhibit and to explain and demonstrate the process of mounting prints to the public.

Congratulations to all AV Fair winning entries
