Electronic Image Division Club Competition

The Monticello Camera Club (MCC) conducts an Electronic Image Division (EID) competition on the second Tuesday of each month. This competition is open to all club members in good standing. All images submitted will be displayed on the Monticello Camera Club's website, following competition night, with recognition for advancing images. Images which advance from the Monticello Camera Club to the monthly Columbia Council of Camera Club's EID competition compete against all advancing images, from all member clubs, for Award of Merit and Honorable Mention ribbons. Advancing images are also entered into Photographic Society of America competitions, of which the Columbia Council of Camera Club's and the Monticello Camera Club are both members of.
