This is being done so all labels are uniform, easy to read and have all the information needed. Information to be filled in will be print title, your name, address, camera club affiliation should you have one, email address and most importantly, your cell phone number so we may reach you during the conference if we need to. Please allow yourselves enough time to fill out the label at the time of submission

Judging – Sat 1:00 pm
All prints will be judged in a regulation light box and will be scored by the judges on a 3 to 10 point basis per judge, using an electronic scoring device for a total of 9 to 30 points per print. All scores will be recorded on the back of each print on the official NECCC label. Three qualified judges will select the winning prints. Medals will be awarded for Best of Show in both Monochrome and Color. In Monochrome, special category NECCC Medals will be awarded for bestnature, landscape, seascape, still life and portrait. In Color, special category NECCC Medals will be awarded for creative, landscape, seascape, and photojournalism along with three Judges’ Choice Medals, courtesy of the Connecticut Association of Photographers (CAP). Honor Award ribbons will be presented to the fifteen (15) prints in both Monochrome and Color with the highest scores. There will be no other awards, other than Medals and Honor Awards.
