As a way to track and post the winners of each month’s photo contest, Ive created this blog page for the 2021-2022 school year. Contests generally run monthly from August through May.
In order to win a monthly prize you need to be a student at DCTC this year ( any program either semester) and win first place in the judged monthly contest AND be an active member of the club (usually that means attending a few meetings or outing and participating in a few virtual or in person meetings). You can view the Judge’s feedback for all the contests on the main Photo Contest page.
Congratulations to all the winners!!
So here is our recap:
