Before submitting, please read all contest submission rules.

Contest Rules:

There are two contest themes per month.

One theme that allows full digital enhancement and the other that only allows basic adjustments. Both categories will be judged separately and there will be one winner for each contest. Please see HERE for more details.

Artists can ONLY submit ONE image to ONE of the two contests.

Choose a theme you like and submit to just ONE.

Photos must be taken between January 12th, 2023 and submitted by midnight, Sat, February 4th, 2023.

Images must be sized and submitted 1200 pixels on the long side (maximum).

Do NOT remove the EXIF information. Name information can be removed.

NOTE: Any submissions that do not meet the above requirements are subject to rejection.

Outside judges will occasionally rate and critique the month’s contests. Some month’s contests will be voted on by the membership. For more info on outside judging criteria, click here.

Please submit your images HERE.

For past contest winners and images, click here.


January Themes are:

“Macro” (basic adjustments only)

“Glow” (digital enhancement allowed)


Field Trips are open to all PACPG members.  Currently there are no Field Trips scheduled at this time.  Stay tuned for upcoming Field Trips.

PACPG Field Trips are a great way to network and meet your fellow members, as well as a great opportunity to learn something new or to ask questions about your camera/photography knowledge.

RSVP not required (unless otherwise noted), but always appreciated.  

PACPG members can bring guests, but please RSVP for your guests in email.

Field Trips are held weekdays and weekends to accommodate schedules of all PACPG members.  

A waiver MUST be signed for all Field Trips and must be printed and signed by anyone attending.  

We HIGHLY suggest filling out the paperless, digital waiver in advance here.

If you have an issue accessing the digital waiver, please print out, sign, and bring the waiver with you the day of the Field Trip. Click to access Waiver.
