The Florida Camera Club Council (FCCC), founded in 1959, is a nonprofit umbrella organization under which members of camera clubs throughout Florida can benefit by the interchange of ideas and the experience of other photographers. We offer six competitions annually (three print and three digital), open to individual members of any affiliated club.
Currently, there are around 50 independent, FCCC affiliated camera clubs throughout the state of Florida. Visit the Clubs page for more information. Any individual member of one of the FCCC registered camera clubs is eligible to become a member of the FCCC, free of charge. To register as a member of the FCCC, please visit Membership. You can also find information on our constitution, by-laws and FCCC officers.
What’s happening
The competition is hosted by the Florida Camera Club Council (FCCC) via their website. f3c.org
It is the third tri-annual digital competition of the year (digital meaning images submitted electronically).
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
Select up to four of your best recent digital images (that haven’t already won in FCCC).
Review the rules (on the FCCC Rules & Regulations page) to ensure your images qualify.
Log in or register on the FCCC site (via f3c.org) as a club member of TCPC.
Pay the entry fee (as required) and submit your images before the November 19 deadline.
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 next meeting on November 13th.
