FCCC Competitions
One of the main functions of the Florida Camera Club Council is the administration of the four annual competitions in both the Digital Division and the Print Division. The first three tri-annuals in both divisions are open to all current members of our affiliate clubs. Anyone who wins a ribbon in the first three tri-annuals is automatically entered in the year end competition. We award three ribbons in the year end with the first place finisher designated as "picture of the year". We encourage all current members to take advantage of this opportunity to compete with their peers throughout Florida.

F.A.Q. (Digital Division)
Q. Do I have to resize my images?
A. NO. If you submit your image(s) to the competition galleries on our forum, your image will be resized automatically during the image upload process.
Q. I am a first time entrant what Class ( A or B ) should I enter?
A. You may enter either class based on you own assessment of your photographic skills. The object is to compete against others of similar skill level.
Q. Is there a preferred color space for submitted images?
A. Yes images submitted for competition will generally look better in the sRGB color space
Q. How is judging conducted?
A: A panel of three judges separately judge each entry of the four classes of competition. Judges score each image on technical quality, impact and artistic merit and assign a score between 1 and 20 to each image (one the lowest and 20 the highest). The three scores for each image are averaged and then ranked from high to low for each class.
Twenty-five percent of all judged images in each class are awarded ribbons. The top 10% are awarded Blue Ribbons and the next 15% are awarded Yellow Ribbons.
Q. If I submit a monochrome photo that I've tinted with sepia or a color tone, will it still be considered a monochrome photo?
A. No. Any sepia or color tone incorporated into a monochrome photo will automatically qualify it as a color photo. The proof is in the image's histogram which will indicate color.
Q. Can I enter the same photo again in the next competition if I didn't win any ribbons?
A. Yes. Only photos that have won a ribbon in a previous FCCC Digital Division Tri-Annual competition are no longer eligible for entry. Any winning images, however, are automatically placed in the Year End competition.
F.A.Q. (Print Division)
