End-of-Year competition
The following awards will also be announced during the evening.
- James W. Simmons Photographer of the Year: In recognition of Jim Simmons' outstanding contributions to the CCC, this award is presented to the Class A photographer who has accumulated the highest number of points during the year.
- Howard Rothman Class B Photographer of the Year: In memory of Howard Rothman, one of the founding members of the CCC, this award is presented to the Class B photographer who has accumulated the highest number of points during the year.
- Shyan Award: This award, in memory of Ted and Rita Shyan, founding members of the CCC, is open only to Class B photographers. The photographer enters three photos that must have been taken in the current year, and may or may not have been entered in a competition. Color or monochrome may be entered. These photos should be the three that the photographer considers his or her best work; they do not necessarily have to be part of a theme or a type, but they may if the photographer wishes to present them in that manner. Each set of photos will then be reviewed and voted on by fellow club members to determine the winner of the award.
A new feature called "Story Time" will be added to our activities this year, in place of the end-of-year Assigned and Open photo evaluations. Several club members will show us photos and tell about photographic trips they've recently had or will tell stories about photographic experiences from the past that they'll never forget.
