A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR OF COMPETITIONS
Hello fellow photographers
We are pleased that CAPA competitions participation has increased significantly over the past two years. I hope you are looking forward to a new year of photographic challenges and plans to increase your skills. CAPA competitions can help you grow photographically.
Thanks to all CAPA clubs and individual members who have e-mailed me and the Competition Chairs with suggestions. As always, we’re here to listen: competitions@capacanada.ca

- Proshows of competition images have been created and are available to CAPA Clubs and CAPA Individual members through Joyce De Meester Library@CAPACanada.ca, our CAPA Librarian -- have your CAPA membership number ready as it will be checked against the CAPA database. Proshows can be downloaded via internet file transfer using Pando, YouSendIt or WeTransfer. (Unfortunately the Photodex software is not viewable on Mac computers.) Images from each competition will also appear on the CAPA Website as space is available. Selected award images will continue to appear in Canadian Camera Magazine.
Clubs may have received messages in the spring requesting volunteer hosts for competitions. Please keep CAPA in mind when planning for the 2011-2012 competition year – it is not too early to request your choice of competition. If you are interested, please email our Divisional Competition Chairs (contact information on page 4).
