I belong to a Photo Club here in San Diego called Poly Photo Club. We have a monthly competition which has specific themes. Listed are the winners and themes that I captured. We have 2 different categories. The first is called the Project, which has a monthly theme. We are allowed only to enter 1 photograph that best describes the theme. The Judge picks a first and second place.
The second is called Open, we choose 3 of our own favorites that we as photographers find to be really good and want to be judged on. The Judge also chooses a first and second place.
The Poly Photo Club has 70 members to date. Our Judges are outside Photography Professionals from every level of expertise. Some are professors and others are just well known for there work in San Diego and all over the Country.
