Have you been itching for a good photographic scavenger hunt?

The rules and timing for the 2023 Pocono Photo Club/Palmerton Camera Club Scavenger Hunt will be announced at this month's PPC meeting. As you probably know, this is an annual competition between our clubs and the winner gets to keep the coveted Scavenger Hunt Trophy for the next year.

The Homewood Collection Photography Competition Purpose, Entry Rules and Guidelines

Introduction

Welcome to the Inaugural Homewood Collection Competition webpage. The Homewood Collection will be the accumulation of photographic images selected in successive annual competitions. Homewood at Frederick is holding this photography competition in conjunction with, and initial funding from, the Homewood Foundation. The exhibition and sale will benefit Homewood at Frederick’s Woodlands Assisted Living Unit and promote an appreciation for photographic art. Photographers are asked to submit digital images for judging and selection. Twenty-four (24) images will be selected with one image designated as Best-of-Show.

The Best-of-Show winning photographer will be the recipient of a $500.00 cash prize.
