NECCC Interclub Competition

(projected image and prints)

As a member of the New England Camera Club Council (NECCC), the Association participates in projected image competitions between other member organizations. The Association currently participates in competitions for Color Projected and Nature Projected images and for Black & White and Color prints. The Association competes in Class A, the highest level, in each of these areas. The “competition” consists of other clubs from within the New England area that are also members of NECCC.

Co-chairs for the projected image competitions, Marilyn and Rick, collect images they feel will represent the Association well in each competition. The selections are generally made from images that have been submitted for the Association’s regular monthly competition. However, they occasionally will ask a member if they may use a specific image that they have seen or if the member can provide a selection of images from which one or more might be chosen. Any member not wishing their images to be selected from those submitted for monthly competition or who competes from a different club, should notify Marilyn and Rick of this as soon as possible. No changes are ever made to the images. If a change is desired, the maker is asked to make it. All copyright remains with the maker.

Bart Navarro, chairman for the print competition, collects prints that he feels will represent the Association well in each competition. The selections are generally made from prints that have been submitted for the Association’s regular monthly competition. If you have any questions on whether a print has been held for possible use in an NECCC or other interclub competition, Bart will be logging all prints held into a book at the club. Bart may also occasionally ask a member if he may use a specific print that he has seen or if the member can provide a selection of prints from which one or more might be chosen. Any member not wishing their prints to be selected from those submitted for monthly competition or who competes from a different club, should notify Bart of this as soon as possible.
