The East Valley Photo Club will participate in the Arizona Camera Club Council’s (ACCC) Spring Roundup to be held on April 11 at the Saguaro Center in Buckeye, Ariz. The Roundup will feature both print and digital photo entries from members of all of the photo clubs in the state. Entries are judged by a panel, and awards are presented to those members having the highest scores.
Thursday, April 16, will be the final meeting for EVPC’s 2025-26 season and will include our end-of-year banquet, competition, and awards. The banquet this year will be catered by the country club staff. Our year-end competition consists of the best print and digital photos submitted by members in regular competitions held during the current season. From these, the judges will select a Photo of the Year in both print and digital divisions in each competition class.
Awards will be presented to the Photographer of the Year for both print and digital division in each competition class. These awards are determined by the highest average score achieved by competitors during regular competitions held during the current season.
