The above named competition is again ON, and we again will submit, as a club, up to 6 (SIX) images as our contribution. We hope to again make ourselves known to all those BIG clubs from down south – we have done well out of the 25-30 participating clubs in recent years. Participating club members must be a permanent resident of either BC or Yukon, and may enter with only one club. As the name denotes – this is a nature image competition (no sign of man, domestic animals or plants). This competition is following Canadian Association for Photographic Art (CAPA) guidelines and it is organized by the Lions Gate Camera Club.

We will hold our club selection meeting on Sunday, November 5. If you are a member you should have received information by email for submitting images. If you are not a current paid up member of the Whitehorse Photography Club and you want to participate in this and other club activities, you can join online using the fillable PDF membership application and paying the $45 annual membership fee by e-Transfer.

Our 2023-24 season officially begins on Wednesday, September 27 from 7 to 9 PM with a regular meeting at Yukon University, room 2204. All are welcome at this meeting; if you are interested, come and check us out.

The meeting agenda will include projection of images photographed by members during this summer. There will also be a discussion about how our members want to see the club move forward. Time will be left at the end of the formal meeting for socializing and getting acquainted with newcomers. Refreshments will be provided.

Membership fees for the new season remain at $45 and they are currently due. You can join or renew online by downloading the Membership Application Form. This is a fillable PDF which you can complete and email to our treasurer at the link provided on the form. Payment can be made by e-Transfer or by cash at the meeting.

Judging for the 39th Annual North Shore Photographic Challenge was presented on March 4th. We were one of 25 member clubs in the Canadian Association for Photographic Art’s (CAPA) Pacific Zone (BC and Yukon) that participated.

Each club submitted 6 images, all from different members, and each image was scored out of 10 by three CAPA certified judges. Those numbers were added up for a maximum possible score of 30 points for each image, 180 points for each club entry. Our little club earned 134.5 points, ranking us in a tie for 12th place.

Open the gallery below to view the images from our entry and their scores.

On October 23rd our club held a special meeting to select members’ images for this year’s Celebration of Nature competition. Here are the 6 images selected by the attendees to comprise our entry.

UPDATE: In the competition our club scored 144.0 points out of a possible 180 points for another impressive finish, 6th place out of the 20 CAPA Pacific Zone clubs that participated. The gallery has been updated to show the score (out of 30) earned by each of the images.

And we are returning to live, in-person meetings!

Join us Wednesday, September 28th from 7:00 to 9:00 PM at Yukon University, room A2204.

Everyone is welcome to sit in on this meeting. Memberships will be available at $45 if you would like to join our club. Returning members also should note that the $45 renewal fee is due for you too. You also can join or renew online by downloading, completing and emailing the fillable PDF Application Form and paying by Interac eTransfer.

After 2 years of meetings conducted solely on Zoom, this meeting will allow social time for returning members to get reacquainted and a chance for new participants to introduce yourselves and tell us about your photographic interests. Also, photos submitted by members will be projected.

Bear in mind that COVID is not over, so masks are recommended but they are not required.
