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
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!
Please note the Gaithersburg
Library policy: "Monday through Friday
activities are automatically cancelled when
schools close early or for the entire day."
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.
