NOTE: Photo Challenges are meant to challenge our creativity and inspire us to move out of our comfort zone and into places we’ve never ventured. They are in no way a reflection of your ability. If someone else doesn’t see your vision, accept it and continue to learn and grow as a photographer at your own pace. Here are the Instructions On How To Enter Photo Challenges and our CCC Handbook for 2024-25 for Photo Challenge Standards, Guidelines and Procedures.
