Q: How can I share an announcement about an award or exhibit I have been honored with?
A: Our club is fortunate to have many excellent photographers who are active participants in local and national/international competitions, and frequently receive awards and/or are exhibited in galleries. And we have always encouraged club members to keep us informed about their photographic honors. Publicizing these honors is usually done in one or two ways:
Email announcements to the membership via our Yahoo PACamera Group. This can be done either directly by the member or by emailing the webmaster. The email address for the Yahoo site is PACamera@yahoogroups.com and is worth adding to your address books
Posting on the home page of our website – in the ‘Members in the News’ section. Such displays are an excellent way of showcasing our high-quality work to prospective members who visit the site. Members who wish to have their honors posted should send me both a representative thumbnail image (about 500 pixels wide) AND a link to the website of the organization bestowing the honor (for more details, such as dates of exhibit, reception, etc.
One last word. Although we try to keep on top of competition announcements and announce them to the membership it’s not possible to know about all the good ones. We encourage all members who learn about a competition that may be appropriate for our club members to either announce it (by copying the link) in an email to our Yahoo group, or to let the webmaster (webmaster@pacamera.com) know so that one of us can do it.
