The PSA Projected Image Division
Interclub Contest

The PSC is participating in the PSA Interclub Contest in the Projected Image Division(PID) and, previously, the Nature Division. The contact for the PID contest is Milton McLain. Images from club members are chosen to represent the club in three rounds, in November, February, and April.
Due dates for each round are announced by email and submitted by reply. Award and honorable mention ribbons go to individual participants and the club receives point scores that are totaled for the year as a competitive standing. Clubs are divided into groups of about 20 clubs with the highest-scoring clubs moving to a higher-level group each year. Best of the Best awards are given annually and award winners are posted on the PSA website. In the PID contest, the PSC has been assigned to Group D, of Groups A-F.

For PSC club submission, the picture should be renamed with your name, eg, Smith, Joe, and a picture title for submission. Do not use symbols in your title. Up the three pictures may be submitted. Six pictures, one per person, will be chosen for that contest round. Additional pictures
will be retained for potential use in future rounds. Release forms will be emailed to be signed and returned to me for pictures to be accepted by PSA and a model release if applicable. Current release forms are good for three years.
Image submission guidelines per the PSA website:

  • Each image needs a specific title that is descriptive or related in some way to the image.
