Photo competition deadline THIS Friday
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
You can save the pdf with the instructions for uploading images into competition
1. Must be brought in by 7:15 in order for the print handlers to have time to write the titles on the score sheets and organize the prints.
2. Prints must be between 8 by 10 inches and 16 by 20 inches.
3. Prints must be mounted on mat board or foam core board. Any size mat board or foam core board is allowed up to 16"x20"
4. Prints may be matted conventionally or electronically as long as the maximum dimensions are not exceeded.
5. On the back of each print clearly print your name and address, title, order designation (1 or 2), and an arrow indicating which edge is the top. This information may be printed on one or more labels affixed to the back if you prefer not to write on the mount.
6. If you miss a meeting you are allowed to enter makeups (in prints only). The lowest 4 (class A) or 6 (class B) scores are dropped so it is your choice to take a zero for the missed print or enter a makeup print.

Highlights:
We have friendly photography competitions once a month (8 times a year, plus an "End of Year" competition)

Number of entries per contest:
a. Each member may enter a maximum of 2 photographs into the print competition in each of the 8 contests, for a year's total of 16 entries.

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.
a. To be ranked in prints (class A or B) for cumulative score, the maker must have submitted at least 12 photographs (8 contests times 2 photographs per contest and you can have 4 makeups or 4 zeros).
b. To be ranked in class B electronic photographs, the maker must have submitted at least 10 photographs (8 contests times 2 photographs per contest and you can have up to 6 zeros).
c. To be ranked in class A electronic photographs, the maker must have submitted a total of 12 photographs (8 contests times 2 photographs per contest and you can have up to 4 zeros).
d. To be ranked in image artistry, the maker must have submitted a total of 6 photographs (8 contests times 1 photograph per contest, two zeros allowed).
e. To be ranked in assigned subject, the maker must have submitted a total of 6 photographs (8 contests times 1 photograph per contest, two zeros allowed).
