Important! New instructions for competition entries!The mailbox addresses used by members to pre-register print and slide entries and to submit their digital projection entries have been changed, beginning with January’s entries, which are due by midnight, Wednesday, Jan. 23rd. In an effort to simplify the process of organizing entry lists for our volunteers and to minimize errors of submission on the part of GCC members, separate email addresses by division of the competitor (novice, intermediate, advanced) for three of the competition classes (mono/color prints, digital projection) and a seventh address for slide pre-registration have been created. The seven are:

slide_all@gaithersburgcameraclub.org
print_novice@gaithersburgcameraclub.org
print_intermediate@gaithersburgcameraclub.org
print_advanced@gaithersburgcameraclub.org
digital_novice@gaithersburgcameraclub.org
digital_intermediate@gaithersburgcameraclub.org
digital_advanced@gaithersburgcameraclub.org


Please note that the old mailbox addresses will no longer accept messages. The information to be included with each email remains essentially the same: your name, title of the image(s) and, for prints, whether the entry is monochrome or color. Please note also that the basic rules remain unchanged: no more than 5 images submitted to any one monthly contest; no more than 2 images per competition class; etc.. Should a member inadvertently submit more than 5 total entries, every effort will be made to contact the member to clarify which entries are to remain for competition, but if the member cannot be reached in a timely fashion, excess entries will be removed arbitrarily from the competition.

NOTE: You must be a paid-up member for your registration to be valid. Entry deadline for the competition is midnight, Wednesday, the week before the monthly meeting.

Here's how to get to Parker Hall, Asbury Village: Enter the campus at the Gate House which is the primary entrance to Asbury. It is at the intersection of Odenhal Avenue and Lost Knife Road. When you arrive at the gate house tell the attendant you are going to a meeting at Parker Hall. You will drive a few hundred feet and turn right to get to the parking lot for the Apartment Center. When entering the Apartment Center also known as Building #405, turn to the right and take the elevator down one level or walk down the stairs. Upon entering the lower level there will be signs to "Parker Hall" which is just a few dozen feet away.

The Board has revised the rules for competitions. Please review the new rules here

  • What is the Gaithersburg Camera Club?
    The club is composed of friendly members who share the love of photography. Once a month the group gets together to share ideas, experiences and photographic work in a relaxed environment. Members come from a wide range of backgrounds, skills, and abilities, from novice camera buffs and hobbyists, to experienced semi-professionals. Many photographic interests are shared including landscapes, portraits, wildlife, macro and the growing world of digital photography. If you enjoy photography at any level, we hope you will come and join us!

When winter storms howl, listen for updates on the radio and TV stations, such as WMAL (AM 630), WTOP (AM 1500) and MCPS TV on Comcast cable channel 34.
