The End of Year (EOY) Competition is the highlight of each Castle Craig Camera Club season; here are the requirements:

End of Year ~ Special Awards Categories

The EOY competition also includes 4 (four) prestigious “Special Award” Categories honoring photographers who have positively influenced the Castle Craig Camera Club. Please note the rules here are different:
• These must be photos Never Used before – in our competitions or any other competitions!
• You are allowed to submit only one (1) Photo in each of the Special Awards Category.
• EOY Special Awards are NOT separated by A and B makers, all are judged together!

*** The Willis Cone Flower Medal ***
This must be a photo of a flower and must be shot in its natural environment.
*** The Everett Wilson Landscape Medal ***
Landscape photographs must capture the presence of nature in its natural state and cannot have man-made features or man-made disturbances of the landscape. If a man-made element is present in a photograph, it, will be disqualified
*** The Daniel Kahn Creativity Medal ***
This award is judged using our creative image artistry guidelines. This should be a photograph that is highly manipulated to ultimately present a different creative vision.
*** The Rob Macfarlane Black and White Medal ***
This is a true Black and White Submission. No color can be used in these!
*** 24-25 CT Special Events ***
This is a photo taken in the 24-25 camera club year from any special event in Connecticut.

Good Luck!!

ALL JUDGES’ DECISIONS ARE FINAL!
