Congrats to our 2025 Camera Club Photographers of the Year! That brings us to the time of year for Skill Levels 1 and 2 to review your accumulated points, see where you fall within the total group, and make your decision whether to move up a skill level. If you were a Photographer of the Year in Skill Levels 1 or 2, we ask that you move up to the next level. Here are the skill level criteria: https://www.hsvcameraclub.com/skill-level-criteria.html.
