This year, we have decided not to display prints at the Mercer Mall. Instead, after the judging, we will place all entries on our website. The prints will be published as a low resolution print. This should avoid someone copying them, however we cannot guarantee that. By entering our competition you are giving permission for us to post your photos on the Princeton Camera Club website princetoncameraclubwv.com and agree that we will not be held responsible.
