N4C Digital Competition - March 2019 Fifty-four images, eight in each of four categories (DB, DN, DP, DT), seven in Journalism (DJ), and 15 in Altered Reality (DA - we judged in February so had double our quota this month) by twelve OCC members were eventually submitted to N4C for judging.   Initially, these members sent in 57; the “extra” images were in Nature (10) and Travel (9), so we had run-offs for those eight slots/category. Besides 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, N4C awards Honorable Mentions to the top 10% of the category entrants and Merit Awards to those in the top 25%.  Nine Omaha Camera Club members received a total of 15 awards:
Altered Reality: Mike Barker (1st); Dorothy Sansom, Trish Place, Nikki McDonald(HM); Dorothy Sansom and Allen Kurth (M) Black and White: Larry Headley (HM) Journalism: Allen Kurth (2nd); Larry Headley (3rd); Donna Turner (Merit) Nature: Terry Turner, Allen Kurth, Marty Barker (Merit) Pictorial: Allen Kurth (Merit)Travel: Donna Turner (Merit)
