2016-17 season of the NECCC Electronic Interclub competition winners

The highest scoring clubs for the 2016-17 season of the NECCC Electronic Interclub competitions were announced in the Spring report, the third and last competition of the season.

And now, the winning images in each of the four classes have also been chosen.  The judge used for this daunting task was John Davis, HonPSA, MPSA.  He is from Orchard, Washington and is a past president of the Photographic Society of America.  His current title is President Emeritus and Goodwill Ambassador for PSA.  He also coordinates the PSA Portfolio Assessments.  In making his choices, John wanted to pass along comments that every image was worthy of the “best of the best” designation.  He thanked both Bill and myself for letting HIM see such wonderful images.

The high scoring clubs were:
Pictorial A            Greater Lynn Photographic Association AND Photo Society of Rhode Island
Pictorial B            Cape Cod Art Association
Nature A              Gateway Camera Club
Nature B              Housatonic Camera Club

Congratulations to the clubs and individual winners.  If winning image members are in attendance at the upcoming NECCC Conference, please advise them to attend the awards ceremony on Sunday morning to receive their much deserved award and congratulations.  Likewise, any club representative in attendance should also attend the awards ceremony in order to also accept the award and well deserved congratulations.
