What’s happening

The competition is hosted by the Florida Camera Club Council (FCCC) via their website. f3c.org

Why it’s a great opportunity

• As a TCPC member (via our club’s affiliation with FCCC), you have the benefit of being eligible to enter the competition.

• You can submit up to four (4) digital images for this competition.

• The competition is a chance to showcase your work, get feedback via judging, and potentially gain recognition and ribbons.

• Even if you’ve entered previous tri-annual competitions, this is a fresh opportunity.

Some key rules/reminders

• The image must be your own work — no AI-created elements added, no stock or clip art simply pasted in.

• There are six categories in which you can submit: Color, Mono, Creative, Interpretive, Animals, Documentary. Each has its own definition/requirements.

• If an image has already won a ribbon in a previous FCCC Digital competition, it may not be re-entered in another Digital competition.

• Submit your files in the required format: JPG or PNG, no larger than 1 MB, and longest side no larger than 1024 pixels.

What to do now

1. Select up to four of your best recent digital images (that haven’t already won in FCCC).

2. Review the rules (on the FCCC Rules & Regulations page) to ensure your images qualify.

3. Log in or register on the FCCC site (via f3c.org) as a club member of TCPC.

4. Pay the entry fee (as required) and submit your images before the Deadlines After submission, keep an eye on your email for approval notifications and check the competition gallery to confirm that your images were accepted.

Helpful tip

• Don’t wait until the last minute! Early submission helps avoid issues with approvals or technical problems.

• Make sure that the image title does not include your name or club name (rules say the title should not identify the maker or club).

• Consider which category fits your image best—choosing the correct category can improve how the image is judged.

• Check if your metadata is correct and that the file meets the upload specs (size, resolution, format).

If you have any questions or would like help choosing images or reviewing them before submission, feel free to reply to this email or bring your questions to our meeting
