The Central Illinois Camera Club Association (CICCA) is a regional group including mostly central Illinois camera clubs which wish to join for the opportunity to learn and participate in friendly competition with one another. Our local club, the Champaign County Camera Club (CCCC) is one of nine Affiliate Clubs of the CICCA organization.
Each fall, the CICCA sponsors an individual competition. Here is the official invitation. The individual entry fee is $5 per division entered (Digital and/or Print). For those entering Prints and Digital, the cost would then be $10. Please make your check out to CCCC; one check for both divisions if applicable would be appropriate.

Digital images will need to be formatted 1400 x 1050 pixels. Digital images for the CICCA competition can be emailed by October 29th; use “CICCA Competition Images” in the subject line.
A projected image should have a filename as follows:
A-B-C-D.jpg where:
A is the subject category letter (e.g., A, B, C or whatever letter corresponds to the category)
B is the image number starting with 1 and increasing sequentially for the number of images you are entering in the category (e.g., if three images are being entered into category A, then the first would be A-1 and the second would be A-2).
C is the entrants competition number (e.g., 03, 37, 63, 99; it should have two digits, so entrant with competition number 3 should be noted as “03”)
D is the title of the image with no spaces and the first letter of each word in upper case (e.g., AllertonBark, LamarBridge, ARiverRunsThrough, etc.). Avoid the use of special characters in the title such as /?>
Examples of acceptable file names / labels include:
