Now only $20 a year for a single membership and $30 a couple!
NEW STUDENT RATES! If you are a student at the secondary school level or younger, the membership fee is $10, but if you are taking any kind of photography course during the school year, your fee will be waived for the year.
As a member of the Owen Sound Camera Club you will have the privilege of being able to enter any of the competitions and events that we may venture into. Over the course of our schedule, when time permits, we have a print and slide of the month competition that is judged by our membership body and the winners are posted on the Home page of the site. The themes for these competitions are set during the last meeting of the season held in May.
This club is an affiliation of the Georgian Bay Association of Camera Clubs. This association includes clubs from Orillia, Midland, Meaford/Thornbury, and of course, Owen Sound. Each year a competition is held between these clubs which is held in Orillia in April. Over the course of the season, members can gather their entries together, then each club judges their photos to see whose entries go to the Regionals. You can read more about the Regional Competition on the Announcements page.
Whenever we can, we like to organize field trips where we get together in a workshop type of setting and learn from each other while doing what we like to do most – take pictures. As a paid member, you will be included in a phone or email list and be informed of such activities.
As a member of the OSCC you can have some of your work displayed on your own page in our Gallery section. Currently the limit for images per page is set at twelve, and if you have your own personal web site, we’ll be glad to put a link to it from your Gallery page.
During our meetings there may be issues that require a vote. Although we have a number of guests and visitors at our meetings, voting can only be done by our paid members. In May we have our annual dinner meeting where the paid members meet at a restaurant for a nice dinner, then return to our usual place of business where the schedule for the following year is determined.
