Every year the SSM Horticultural Society sponsors a photographic competition. In 2004, it was a very successful show. The entrants had 18 classes to work with, the last five being for digital cameras only.  In 2005 there were 12 classes and 2 for Digital Cameras or digitally altered prints.

For 2006, there was, as now, no class distinction between digital and regular camera submissions.  There should be at least one favourite subject for everyone. Keep the program handy for quick reference and let’s make the 2010 Photo competition the best ever.

Please call Jim Tibbles at (705) 649-1227 if you have any questions.
