Top Ten Electronic Images of the Year
(Members Choice)

We encourage our membership to vote in the Members Choice for their 20 favorite images (This year there were 225 winning electronic images.)  The ten images with the highest number of votes are the “Top Ten Electronic Image” winners, and the image with the highest number of votes is the “Electronic Image of the Year." Note-Due to a tie, there are 11 images this year.

Star Awards

For those members who compete in the advanced level, regardless of category, points are collected across however many years they have competed.  For every 100 points acquired, a “Star Award” is granted, and those members are honored at our annual year-end awards event. 

The following members have reached newly achieved levels of advanced points and thus a new Star on their cap.
