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 totalled. 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 totalled 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.

Judging Course
CAPA is offering a judging course in Calgary on Feb 5, 2022. The location will be the Blackfoot Hotel. They have a large space that can suit our needs to run a course. The have a restaurant on site that can help with all of the food/beverage requirements.
For those that are interested in travelling from outside Calgary, the hotel is sold out the Feb 5 weekend and is not able to secure discounted rooms.
This judging course will contain the updated content that has been recently updated. This is an excellent opportunity for those that are in need of retraining to maintain judging certification with CAPA.
We will be monitoring health recommendations and restrictions on the event and will follow all mandated requirements to ensure a safe event.
If you have any questions, please email Dan Sigouin (Prairie Zone Director, Canadian Association For Photographic Art)
