Competition Guidelines

EACC competition nights are held the 4th Tuesday of each month (Sept-April) for both print images and digital images. You can make up a missed month by entering extra images in the next month’s competition. Keep in mind that a good image title can influence a judge’s impression and understanding of an image.
