Canadian Association for Photographic Art

IACC Representative: ​Bob Royer
The Canadian Association for Photographic Art (CAPA) is a national organization of Canadian camera clubs and individual members from Canada and around the world who have a common interest in photography. CAPA has almost 90 member clubs and over 1,000 individual members. CAPA offers a variety of services to its member clubs and to individual members, and hosts annual photography conferences.

Images Alberta Camera Club has a club membership in CAPA, which means that...
  • we receive its national magazine Canadian Camera, to which we can submit club images and articles
  • we can also submit information and upcoming events to the monthly CAPA Newsletter and on the Club News Page in the CAPA website
  • we are listed on the Clubs Page with a link to our website
  • most importantly, our members can participate in all CAPA Club Competitions

Many IACC members hold individual membership in CAPA, which allows them to enter CAPA competitions as individuals and to receive their own copy of the magazine. For more info on this, click here

IACC Participation in CAPA club competitions

CAPA Club Competitions

All IACC members are eligible to enter CAPA Club Competitions that our club chooses to take part in. These competitions will be announced both at club meetings and on the website.

Members can submit one image via the CAPA Competition link under Competitions on our website. The entries are then judged by three experienced members from our club. Each image is scored out of ten by each judge and the scores are then totaled. The six top scoring photos are submitted to CAPA as our club entry. All club entries consist of six images from six different members.

All images are scored by three CAPA-appointed judges, and again each image is scored out of ten by each judge. The scores are then totaled to arrive at a final score for each club entered. The top three clubs are awarded medals with Honorable Mentions also awarded. Top scoring individual images are also given medals.

All scores are published so our members can see how their images compared to all the entries.

Also, entries to most CAPA Competitions are eligible for entry into the current Four Nations Competition.

We have participated in CAPA club competitions the past few years, winning a few medals, and intend to do so again this year.


2019 Four Nations Competition

The Four Nations Competition is an international competition held yearly by the national photographic associations of Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa.

For this competition, CAPA was required to select 80 images from different photographers and image appropriate for inclusion into one of four categories: Nature (15 images), Monochrome (15 images), Open (35 images) and My Country (15 images).

The 50 to 75 images from each of our 2017-2018 ‘Club’ & ‘Individual’ competitions were shortlisted and re-judged by a separate team of Certified CAPA judges. Based on their scoring, the top 80 images were selected as CAPA’s submission to this competition.

In mid-August, we received official notification that CAPA placed 1st in this competition. In 2019, CAPA will be hosting the Four Nations Competition. We will be using the same selection processes as we did in 2018.

Stay tuned...
