Annual Competition 2022

Overview

The Annual Competition is our premier event of the year, showcasing our members' work. The document below contains a wealth of info regarding the competitions (e.g. categories, rules). Please read the details of each category you wish to enter. Some categories have quite specific requirements, and some have changed from previous years. Apart from the Clive Mathewson Award, which is voted on by the members, all categories are judged by experienced photographic judges chosen by the Competition Committee.

To highlight a few things, including changes imposed by the pandemic
  • All categories are digital this year.
  • All categories are a single image.
  • The Clive Mathewson category is a single funny/humorous image.
  • The up and coming category is open ONLY to members that have NOT received a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place award in any of the competitions this year. 
  • The Clive Mathewson category will be member judged at the April meeting. 
  • The video composition can be anything. These will NOT be scored by the annual competition judges and we will vote on these at the April meeting.
  • The New Member category is a showcase only category. These images will not be judged/scored. This category is only open to members that have joined in this club year (June 2021 - April 2022). 

Competition Date: April 28, 2022, 7:30 p.m. (the winners will be announced at the year-end meeting on May 26; hopefully an in-person meeting)
Deadline for Entries: closed

New Member Showcase

Format:​ Two digital images
Content:​ Open

In past years we have had an annual competition category dedicated to new members, but this year we've replaced the New Member category to the Up and Coming category. However, we want to appreciate our new members and recognize their journey into the club. To do this we will have a New Member Showcase. Each new member can submit two digital images. Of the two images one will be open, while the other has a theme (being you are new members) of My IACC (an image that somehow represents IACC to/for you). The entry forms are below and the deadline will be the same as the annual competition. The images will be incorporated into a slideshow to be shown at the year end meeting in May. New members are also encouraged to bring a print (see section below) to the year end meeting. 

Year-End Print Showcase

As you know, we tried to have some print competitions early in the year and, unfortunately, had to cancel them for the second half as we went fully virtual again. Not unexpectedly the print competitions we have did not have a large number of entries. However, we are holding out hope for an in-person year-end meeting in May. Should that happen, I would like to celebrate prints with a print showcase. This is not a competition and, since there is no need to create a slideshow, there is no need to enter/preregister. It will simply be BYOP (Bring Your Own Print). We'll set up easels and you can put your print up. Please limit yourself to one print per member. Also, please make a tag with the image title and your name. ​
