SCOREBOARD	This Month's Winners

Competitions, one of the main activities of the MWCC, are held on the third Thursday of the month (except in December). Competition is a good tool for improving one's photographic skills. Entry is limited to active club members. Judging is performed by knowledgeable individuals, usually from outside the club. Competitions are held for slides, color prints and black & white prints in three classes - Novice, Intermediate and Advanced.

Rules

MWCC adheres to the anonymous judging standards used by the majority of the clubs in the northern Virginia area. Members are asked to refrain from discussion during competition (including "ooh's and ah's" if possible). Judges are asked to provide verbal constructive criticism on technique and composition during the competition using the works in competition that night.

Schedule

MWCC schedules competitions for the third Thursday of each month (except in December as it falls near Christmas).

Scoreboard
