You may enter your images in the usual manner on our website and voting will occur by our entire membership to chose the entries that will represent our club. As we will be voting on your submissions, do NOT put your name or any identifying marks on your image. We are looking forward to seeing your wonderful submissions Let’s get all four of your images into this contest….REMEMBER ONLY ONE OF YOUR IMAGES MAY GO ON TO THE FINAL COMPETITION AND THAT WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE TOP VOTE COUNT FROM YOUR FOUR ENTRIES…
