Photographic Society of America
Wasatch Camera Club is now a member of the prestigious organization called: Photographic Society of America (PSA). Actually, it is an international organization with members from many different countries and boasts 6000 members altogether. Each Club from around the globe is rated according to a class. Group D, Group C, Group B and Group A with "A" being the highest achievement. Since we are the new club on the block, our status is of course, Group D. The task is to earn points by entering competitions and working our way up to Group A. We can do that but we need to get busy and send our best photos into the contests. Our eligibility is limited to certain competitions at first and broadens as we move up the ladder. Our first competition was the Creative Competition and photos were sent in in June. The status of our entries will be checked out shortly and posted on this website. Another Creative Competition is coming up once again on September 15th. It is my hope that our members will be working toward entering some fabulous creative photos in our own competitions as this is the library from which our entries will be chosen.
As a new club in the system, we can also enter several photos to be posted on the PSA newcomers division of their website. As the PSA representative, I will select the appropriate number of photos from our library of photos that will be reviewed by our committee and sent into PSA. Committee members include: Jeff Clay, Keith Hill, Steven Scott and Sedona Callahan.
PSA also has a division called picture of the month. It is a print division and photos are due on the 1st of each month. All photos are reviewed and judged by PSA and one glorious winner is presented at the international conference held each year in a different city. So I encourage all members of Wasatch Camera Club to think of making some very special prints of their award winning photos and turning them in any time to me, Mary Whitesides for entry into picture of the month.
