Congratulations to 2021 Award Winners!

Posted in Competition, Membership, Programs

Congratulations to club members who earned awards for their photographic creativity during 2021. Awards were announced at the club’s Zoom meeting Dec. 7.

Judges were master photographers (Steve Bomar, Reagan Ferguson, Jim Murray) familiar with club competition, but who had no information about images or the name of the photographer. They reviewed 33 images in each class (a total of 99) that won an award during 2021 monthly competition and selected the top four images in each category.

Photographer of the Year winners are those who received the highest point total for entries throughout the year. Above, Cardinal in the Snow by Vicki Lai, an April winner.
