Annual Awards (since 2000)

Points are accrued for winning images in monthly competitions. A First Place ribbon earns 10 points, Second Place 9 points, Third Place 8 points, and Honorable Mention 6 points. The annual awards listed below recognize the members who accumulated the most points (minimum 30) during each year. Points (except Novice) also accumulate as lifetime Star Ratings. Also see:  Competition History page.

The competition at the top is intense, and those winners listed below have demonstrated consistent proficiency in photography through the year. We also honor the highest point holder in each of the Advanced classes by designating them Photographer of the Year in that category. Trophies and plaques are awarded at the end-of-year banquet in June of the year listed.
