    When submitting images, be sure to CLEARLY identify the Award that it is for, and your name. Please add only your two initials in front of the title only.

    All DCC members may enter the competitions. Images did not have to have been submitted in the monthly competitions

    Only one award will be presented per competition: therefore, images will not be divided into level categories (beginners, advanced and masters)

    Images entered must have been taken or printed (i.e. J.J. Spurlock Award) during the current fiscal year. (April 2006 through May 2007) This allows 12 full months to work on the competition entries.

    The winners will be announced at the Annual Banquet on Tues April 3, 2007 YOU MAY SUBMIT DIGITAL IMAGES TO: dccimages@msn.com ENTRIES FOR THESE MAY BE SUBMITTED FROM NOW UNTIL FIRST MEETING IN MARCH. THEY WILL BE SENT OUT FOR JUDGING THAT WEEK TO GET THEM BACK BY APRIL 3, 2007 FOR THE BANQUET.

    For those new DCC members who would like to see the images that won the special annual awards last April, simply look at the back cover of the current DCC yearbook. This will give you an idea of the type of images that won last year. Less than 2 months to turn-in.

    Here is some more information provided by Dody Bracken
     
    WHAT THEY ARE ALL ABOUT
     
    J.J.SPURLOCK CREATIVE PORTRAIT AWARD
     
    J.J.Spurlock, whom everyone knew as “Jim,” was a long time member of
    DCC and specialized in black & white portraiture. He gained national and
    International recognition for a technique he developed in the darkroom
    applying texture to his portraits. Only a few people in the club and in PSA
    learned this technique.
    When he died, Mrs. Spurlock suggested instead of flowers the DCC
    establish a Creative Portrait Award and insisted it not be limited to
    monochrome, but also include color prints.
     
    Marge Dance Contemporary Award
     
    Marge Dance was a very creative photographer and was always trying
    new ways to express her photography. She was one of the first DCC
    members to use mylar and blue lights with fluorescent poster boards.
    Upon her death DCC established an award in her honor in lieu of
    flowers.
     
    Milton Rudick Travel Award
     
    Milton was a long-time member and supporter of the DCC and was
    always available if the club or any member needed help. Travel was
    his passion in photography. After he died his family established a
    fund for this special award in his memory. It is specifically for travel
    this past year and can be anywhere other than the metroplex.
     
    Ken Zapp Field Trip Award
     
    After being the guest speaker at a GSCCC Convention the DCC hosted,
    and then becoming a lifetime member of DCC, Ken suggested having
    a slide show after each field trip. His idea of having a different person
    each time, with his help, present the slide show was such a resounding
    success, that an award was created in his honor. The entries for this
    award must be from a field trip made during the current year.
