PSA Digital Image SIG

Jim Reichel, coordinator    [email protected]

New for 2022-2023, PSA has split the PSA PID Interclub Competition into two categories — Color and Monochrome. Members of the SIG have expressed an interest to participate in both. Therefore, the Sun City Photo Club will enter images to both. PSA's PID Color and Monochrome Interclub competitions are held three times each year in November, February, and April. Our club can submit six images by six different photographers for each competition. SIG members will choose the images to be submited to the PSA prior to the SIG meeting. SIG meetings occur approximately 3 weeks before submittal to PSA in October, January, and March, where selected images are reviewed and the top six images are announced. This is a great way to evaluate our photo club's skills compared to other photo clubs.

The Sun City Photo Club placed 10th in Group D for the 2021-2022 season, up from 14th place in the 2020-2021 season. Great job!!
