Programs

Competitions

Competitions are a great way for club members to share their work and get ideas on how to improve their images.  Judges will provide helpful critiques. It is important to know that your name is not revealed in the competition unless you win (so for the new members who may feel uneasy about competing, feel free to submit so you can get a valuable critique)!

Everyone is welcome to attend club meetings but only club members (paid dues) may enter the competitions.

Competitions are held monthly at our Millburn location. Seven competitions are held each year. In May, a Year End Competition is held which includes all winning images.  December is set aside for the CMCC Memorial Competition Each competition includes an Assigned Category (see calendar) and an Open Category (any image of your choice). Members can upload 3 in each of the two categories for a total of 6 images per competition. Please check the Program and Competition Schedule for competition dates.

  • Class B – New Members
