Councils of Clubs: PSA Council’s Challenge
PSA-member organizations that include several camera clubs; whether the group of clubs is called a Council, a Federation, or an Association, are all eligible to enter the annual PSA Council's Challenge. Each "group" may enter ten color digital images from ten makers, ten monochrome digital images from ten makers, and ten prints by ten different makers. Images entered in a previous Council’s Challenge are not eligible.
Each section is judged separately, individual winners are selected, and a ranking for all the groups that entered is listed. The scores for each section are tallied and an overall winning "group" is identified.
