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.
(1) Prints (must be turned in by 7:15). Friendly display and member's choice award.
(2) Electronic (uploaded via website prior to deadline). Two classes: Class A (advanced level) and Class B (entry level, top scorer gets promoted to A at end of year)
(3) Image Artistry category (emailed prior to deadline)

- New, as of February 2016. Optional. Each maker may place a "C" at the end of ONE image entered into each monthly competition to indicate that the maker desires a critique for that image (one image per month per maker only, i.e. choose any one image in any one category, class A, class B, assigned, monochrome, image artistry, etc.). For example, if you enter five photographs in ALL four categories you may choose ONEW image for a critique. You do to have to choose any image for critique if you do not desire one or will not be present at the competition to receive one.
- Reminder. All aspects of the image must be taken by the photographer [Clipart, Textures, plugins with textures, etc. are NOT permitted[. As of September 2016 this rule will be modified as follows: in the creative/image artistry category (ONLY) anything goes, meaning that you will be able to use plugins with textures, purchased textures, purchased photographs, etc. as long as the main component of the photograph was taken by the photographer. The exisiting rule (All aspects of the image must be taken by the photographer (clipart, Textures, plugins with textures, etc. are NOT permitted]) will still apply to ALL othrr categories except the creative/image artistry category.
- 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).
We have friendly photography competitions once a month (8 times a year, plus an "End of Year" competition)
Highlights:- All aspects of the image must be taken by the photographer (Clipart, Textures, plugins with textures, etc. are NOT permitted).
