Topic B&W - Open B&W Topic - Cherished Color - Open Color Topic - Neglected Deadline to submit is Mar. 17th The format for print competitions will be a little different this year than in previous years.  Here’s a quick summary of the most significant changes: Images will be viewed, and scored with members present, followed immediately by judge critiques and comments Critiques and comments will be done with judges viewing the prints…not based on a projected slide Viewing distance adjusted for smaller/larger images Judges will not have the opportunity to preview the images prior to scoring Special note:  In order to avoid distractions to the judges, we ask that members not enter/leave the room during the active judging/scoring process.   Signs will be posted on the doors. We will let you know once the judging/scoring is complete. In order to fit all of this into a single evening, it will be necessary to have the meeting start a little early. Please see the timeline below.  This will be an “in person” meeting only.   There will not be a Zoom meeting.   Members are encouraged to come in person to enjoy the actual printed images.  In order to ensure that all photographers who submitted images have the opportunity to benefit from critiques/comments, we are planning to record the critiques/comments section for later viewing.  Members are encouraged to wear masks where able. The image scores will be entered into the CCO web site within 48 hours of the competition.   We humbly ask for your patience.   As in previous years, you will be able to see the total score for your own images, but not those submitted by others.   Awards will be visible to all. This way of doing things is a pretty large departure from how we’ve done things in the past.  It’s a start, and will surely be fine tuned as we move forward into subsequent competitions.  Any and all comments/suggestions would be welcomed! We look forward to seeing you Tuesday night.   See the timelin
