The entered photographs can be divided into the categories in any manner the photographer chooses.

The O3C Open Challenge is an opportunity for our members to present their images to like-minded individuals from other clubs in the Council, and to get at least numerical feedback on their images from a panel of accredited judges. About on third of the images entered make it to the final round, those images being of sufficient quality to be considered contenders for awards.

The 2025 O3C Open Challenge has been announced and John will be sending out the call to our members to participate in this relatively prestigious contest.
