The Langley Camera Club participates in Outside Competitions sponsored through the Canadian Association for Photographic Art and/or individual camera clubs approximately a dozen times per season. All members are encouraged to participate and submit images for the selection process. (Images that have been submitted to Inside Competitions may also be submitted for club entries for Outside Competitions.) Members that have their image selected as part of the Club submission receive the score awarded to them from that competition. Members that submitted images for consideration but were not selected receive 10 points to acknowledge their participation in the competition. Notwithstanding these scores received, in order to qualify for the award members must have at least one of their image submissions during the year selected to be part of a Club entry in an Outside Competition. Each participating member’s scores from these Outside Competitions will be added together at the end of June. The member whose Outside Competitions Aggregate Score is the highest will be awarded the LCC Outside Competition trophy and will receive a certificate; second through tenth place will receive a certificate.
