BEST IN SHOW 2020 PRINT COMPETITION
In its 19th consecutive year, the 2020 Best in Show Print Competition was presented in February by the Champaign County Camera Club. The competition was open to amateur photographers in the surrounding 11 counties and is the largest such competition in east-central Illinois. All competitors were eligible for the competition’s top prizes, except those entered in the Club category.
In addition to the Champaign County Camera Club (CCCC), there were eight sponsors of the Best in Show competition. The Urbana Park District assisted with all phases of the event including submission collection, hanging the show, and communicating with participants. For information about Urbana Park District programs, call 217/367-1544 or visit the UPD website at urbanaparks.org. We gratefully acknowledge Lincoln Square Mall for providing the space for the show and critique. Larry Kanfer Gallery and Illini Studio provided funding for the top image awards. Trophy Time donated all place-winner ribbons; Prairie Gardens, International Galleries, and Art Coop also provided prizes. The generosity of all these businesses is important to making this such a popular public event. CCCC thanks them all for their generosity.
The Best In Show competition depends upon having competent and knowledgeable judges donate their services. A huge thank you to judges John Dixon, Larry Kanfer, and Lou McClellan for viewing and judging over 400 prints this year!
