First competition 9/16 -- the Deadline is 9/13
The NHCC handbook has been updated, please download it and read it, it is your responsibility to know the rules.
The New Haven Camera Club expects that its membership will adhere to the highest ethical standards when complying with its competition rules. It is especially important that all photographs entered into competitions be the exclusive work of the maker (except for commercially made prints or digital photographs scanned from a slide original allowed by the rules).
Highlights:
All aspects of the image must be taken by the photographer (Clipart, Textures, etc. are NOT permitted).
Images of a similar nature may not be submitted again once that image has won a ribbon.
The winning same image (or a very similar rendition taken at the same time) may not be submitted into a different competition or in a different season.
Please note that there are NO makeups (in electronic images only, makeups are allowed in prints)
Please note that there no way to email images late if you have problems, so we urge you please do NOT to wait until the last minute to submit your photographs.
Setups are ONLY allowed in Class B
The NHCC handbook has been updated, please download it and read it, it is your responsibility to know the rules.
The New Haven Camera Club expects that its membership will adhere to the highest ethical standards when complying with its competition rules. It is especially important that all photographs entered into competitions be the exclusive work of the maker (except for commercially made prints or digital photographs scanned from a slide original allowed by the rules).
Highlights:
- Only two "setups" are allowed per season (a setup is when someone else provided the lighting, like a at a workshop or HiJinx or at NECCC. Setups must be noted as such in the title.
- Two “set ups” arranged by someone else, but photographed by the maker, are allowed each year in Class B prints or Class B electronic photographs. An example of a “set up” is a picture taken at the NECCC Conference where the subject, lighting, etc. are all worked out by someone else and you simply plug into a studio flash and take the picture. These photographs should be identified as “set ups” on the print or in the title when submitting an electronic photograph. “Set ups” arranged by someone else are not allowed in Class A prints, Class A electronic images, Image Artistry, or in the Assigned Subject category.
We have the following competitions every month--Class B electronic open--Class A electronic open--Creative electronic--Assigned subject electronic--Class B print--Class A print

Cumulative Score is the sum total of all print or electronic photograph scores to date. At the end of the competition year the highest 6 - 12 scores of each maker (depending on the category) are summed to determine the cumulative score. Makers can compete in more than one category and can have cumulative scores in each category. These points will count toward an award for highest cumulative point total for the year presented at the Annual Dinner.
