In addition to the ribbons awarded at monthly competitions, the club also presents two year-end awards.
Photographer of the Year Awards:
One award for digital submissions, and one award for print submissions. The member who has earned the highest point total at the end of the year is awarded Photographer of the Year. Points are accumulated based on points for ribbons won:
1st Place ribbon- 4 points
2nd Place ribbon - 3 points
3rd Place ribbon - 2 points
Honorable Mention ribbon - 1 point
People’s Choice Award:
All first place images from monthly competitions are eligible for the People’s Choice Award. Images must be submitted digitally to be considered, even if the original winning entry was a print. All images (including digital, print, color, and monochrome) are placed in a single category, and members vote for their favorite image. First, second, and third place are awarded.
Both awards are presented at the year-end party and awards ceremony.
