2002 "Best in Show"

Print Competition

 

2008
Best in Show
Photographic Print Competition

The First Annual Champaign County Camera Club Photographic Print Competition was held February 22, 23 and 24 0f 2002 at Lincoln Square in Urbana. The event exceeded all expectations with 299 prints submitted by 129 photographers. We had great help from our sponsors, and it would be terrific if anytime you shop at their stores, you express your appreciation. The primary local sponsors were The News-Gazette , the Urbana Park District , Bates Camera and Lincoln Square . Other sponsors included Framer's Market , Film Processing Limited , Better Image , Busey Bank and K's Merchandise . Also, Fuji Film donated 110 rolls of film.

The show was considered so successful that Lincoln Square has reserved February 20, 2003 (set-up day) through March 2, 2003 for our show next year, an 11 day period instead of this year's three day period.   We hope that we will be able to continue to have the Best In Show competition for many years into the future with each show covering 10 days after it is mounted

The Judges for this competition were:

Dale Greffe, UIUC professor emeritus of mechanical engineering, one of the founders of the Central Illinois Camera Clubs Association (CICCA) in 1950.

Barry Blinderman, director of University Galleries at Illinois State University in Normal.

Jack Hobbs, professor emeritus of art at Illinois State University and president of the Bloomington-Normal Koda Roamers Camera Club.
