 WAUSSAUK Competition

 The Charlotte Camera Club is hosting the WAUSSAUK competition. The WAUSSAUK competition is a four continent club competition.  The four clubs are from Western Australia, the US, South Africa and the United Kingdom. We need a volunteer to coordinate it.  The coordinator would work with the judges of the competition to document the images scores and report back to the board when this is done.  The images would be uploaded to the SmugMug by March 1st. Judging would occur in the weeks after and Anastasia Tompkins will then take the information and the images to create the PowerPoint that goes back to the participating clubs.

 Here are the rules for the competition:

 Rules
