 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

·  The theme will be “Open”.

·  There will be two categories:

1.      Color

·  It does not matter how many photos are entered in the Color category or the B/W category, as long as the total number of images submitted by each club does not exceed 25.

·  There will be scoring for the Color category and scoring for the B/W category..

·  The scores will be combined to get the final scores to determine the overall winning club.
