January Competition Entries due Friday
January 27 Competition Entries are due Friday, January 24
Photo Contest Pro has been set up to accept entries for our first competition of 2020.
The competition will be on Monday, January 27. Entries are due by Friday, January 24,
at 11:59 PM
This year the image size allowed has changed. In the past, images could be up to
1024 pixels in height or width.
Now images can be 1400 pixels wide and 1050 pixels high. This change is in keeping with
the New England Camera Club Council which has changed its image sizes for interclub competitions.
If you accidentally forget to resize your images, Photo Contest Pro may still accept
them if they are not too far off.
However, everyone should strive to resize their images to conform to the guidelines.
Scores to be put on the Blog soon after the Competition
If you have signed up to have the Blog sent to your email address, you will receive these scores automatically.

Printing from the NHCC Blog
Yes, you can print from the NHCC Blog....there are two options (#1 is easier)
(1) We all subscribe to the blog -- so you get an email for each blog post -- then just print the email (or control P on a PC to bring up the print dialog box) -- it is just like printing any other email, prints just fine...
(2) go to the blog (on the internet using your browser: Chrome, Safari, etc etc) ). The blog posts are in reverse chronological order, click on the title of the blogpost that you want to print, then
just print (or control P on a PC) like printing any other email, prints just fine
