Welcome to all new and returning MCC members! This is an invitation to join in our 2021 Gemboree theme competition. You have almost six months before images are due. None of the categories this year require any special lenses or techniques. All you need is a camera and your imagination.
Even if you only enter one image, that is fine. However, if you enter in all seven themes you are in the running to have your name engraved for 2021 on the Traders Group Cup.
Here are the seven categories for the 2021 Gemboree.
Your images will be captioned, so try to think of titles that complement your photography. Don’t hesitate to contact me for assistance if you feel stuck.
Further information for the Gemboree Competition will be available on the Club’s website. By the way, the MCC Outings offer excellent opportunities to capture images for all themes.
