Overall Competition Standings

With regards to communicating the individual scores for this competition, the guideline and rules states as follows:

To maintain the spirit of this competition in that it is primary an “Inter-Society Competition” and not an individual event,  each participating society will keep the scores confidential and will not distribute the scores to their 80 members who submitted their images.

Despite the fact that we are not permitted to distribute the individual scores from this competition, we have included below the 80 CAPA image titles, photographers and camera clubs the respective photographer is a member of.

Many thanks to these dedicated photographers who permitted us to include their outstanding image in this competition and to represent Canada.

As outlined above, CAPA has now won this competition for the 5th consecutive year.
