General Rules

Entrants must be paid members of La Crosse Area Camera Club.

Each entrant may enter two images into each category.

Entries must be prepared as explained in Preparing and Submitting Entries.

Entries must be submitted by 5:00 pm on the Friday before the judging takes place. Judging is normally held on Sunday at 6:30.

Images will be judged based on 3 criteria: technique, composition & impact. See What the Judges Look For for more information.

While we don't place a limit on manipulation for categories other than nature, all entries must start as a photo. The photo and any manipulation must be the work of the entrant. Entries into Nature cannot be manipulated.

Any evaluation entries receiving an acceptance, honorable mention, 3rd, 2nd, or 1st place shall be eligible to be entered in the End of Year Competition.

If an image does not receive an award in monthly competition, it may be re-entered in a later month. Images that receive awards may not be re-entered in subsequent competitions unless significant alterations have been made to the image.
