Bylaws Changes Starting September 2023
The Board has made a few bylaw changes you need to be aware of.
1.  In regards to AI becoming so popular, the Board has added that "All photos entered in TCC must start with an original capture in a camera, either DSLR or phone.  Remember, all parts of your photo must be your work.  No adding other photographers' captures/work into your image.
2. A minimum of 1/3 of the total entries in each divisional contest should receive awards, and those will be moved on to the End of Year judging.  If there are only 1-3 entries in a group, there should be a 1st Place awarded, with a 2nd Place and 3rd Place awarded only if those images score near as high as the 1st Place image.
3. Four entries will be allowed in the Creative Division for a limited time.  Our entries for Creative are lower than the other divisions.  We will allow 4 entries for now until we find out how it goes.
