Last year Melbourne Camera Club put a proposal to the VAPS mid-term meeting offering to host a slide competition for current slide workers based on the familiar format of a club’s monthly competition.  Delegates warmly received the proposal, and the competition was held at the VAPS AGM in October 2007.

Twenty slide workers entered 80 slides.  All the slides, with judge’s comments, were shown before the AGM.  The success of this activity has resulted in MCC offering to host two more competitions in 2008 - one to coincide with the VAPS mid-term meeting in April, and the other to coincide with the VAPS AGM in October.

The aims of these competitions are the same as the October 2007 competition - to offer VAPS members the opportunity to develop their slide-photography skills, be compared with other current slide workers, and critiqued by competition judges.  We hope this will encourage slide workers to compete in National and International slide competitions, and ensure a future for slide photography.

Members who have done well in the Club's competitions throughout the year are invited to send copies of their winning shots in for inclusion in Exposure as well as on the Club's website photo gallery. 

Thanks to Carolyn Buckley and Sam Iliopoulos for offering to assist Paula O’Shea, the MCC Librarian, with the management of the club’s library on meeting nights.

More information on the Library will be on the website soon.
