End of Year Submissions

April 30th, 2009

Submissions for Print of the Year and Slide of the Year awards should be brought to the individual chairmen at any of the following times:

• May regular judging on May 11

Submissions for Electronic Image of the Year awards should be sent via email to the club’s image submission address.  You only need to send the titles, as all electronic images from this competition season have been kept on file.

The absolute last date for acceptance of entries will be the last monthly meeting on May 18 although, with the judging being held on May 20, we would appreciate them sooner rather than later so the chairmen have time to prepare. Refer to the April SOG, page 11 for details of each competition category. All of your entries must have been entered in one of our regular contests during the current competition season (2008-2009).

NECCC Spring 2009 Electronic Interclub Competition – Results

April 12th, 2009

The Spring competition was held on April 1, 2009, hosted by the Cape Cod Viewfinders Camera Club.  Thirty-three clubs participated in the Pictorial section and thirty clubs participated in the Nature section.  Charter Oak came in 4th overall in the Nature competition and 13th overall in Pictorial.

Our final placing for the 3 competitions for the season mirrored the last competition – 4th overall in Nature and 13th overall in Pictorial; a pretty good year!

The Club would like to thank all of the makers that allowed us to use their images in competition this season!!

April 2nd, 2009

Last night, the initial results from the Glennie Interclub competition were received and Charter Oak tied for 4th place (8th overall since ties aren’t broken)!   This is pretty impressive given that 95 clubs from as far away as Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom participated.  And, out of 11 clubs from Connecticut that entered, only one other – New Haven Camera Club – placed in the top 10 coming in 7th.

In addition to the club scores, the Best of Show and Best Wildlife winners have been posted.  Log onto www.glennie-exhibition.com and click on the options in the 2009 Table.
Individual awards will be posted over the next several days so be sure to check back!
