Photo Competitions
Competitions are an integral part of the Sarnia Photographic Club each month. Competitions not only give incentive for members to shoot new pictures, but also allow members to learn from one another's photos by discussing the strengths and opportunities for improvement of each entry.
Monthly Competitions
Members are encouraged to enter photographs monthly, one for each of the two categories. (Open and Nature categories will alternate each month and there will be a Monthly Theme category). The images are reviewed by a judging committee and shown at the next meeting, with the judges' critiques. The photographer is not identified, except for the top entries. Entries are due the 15th following the monthly meeting.
Definitions:
Open: Any topic
Nature: No visible hand of man (fence, telephone pole, cultivated plants, domesticated animals, etc.).
Annual Competitions
Each month the winning images are assigned points: 1st Place-4 points, 2nd Place-3 points, 3rd Place-2 points and Honorable Mention-1 point. The points are tallied throughout the year and the following awards presented for the photographer with the highest points in each category.
