PHOTOQUEST 2016 New Updates and Changes PhotoQuest Entry Fee After much discussion, the Board made decisions in order to help meet the expense of PhotoQuest The Board presented their recommendation to the Club for vote which passed, that each artist participating in PhotoQuest will be charged an entry fee of $20 and will be allowed up to a maximum of 4 entries. Note: this is not per each item entered, just a flat entry fee of $20, payable when photographs are dropped off at the KACC. Only checks or cash will be accepted. This charge is being made to cover the cost of our gallery rental fee, and to lessen a draw on our dwindling treasury. Our PhotoQuest 2017 exhibit will be in severe jeopardy if we cannot sustain our treasury funds. If the fee is not paid, your entries will not be hung. Checks should be made payable to Hill Country Camera Club. Club Membership Club dues for the year must be paid prior to the PhotoQuest check-in. Any member whose dues are not current shall not be allowed to exhibit in PhotoQuest. 2016 PhotoQuest Judge This year our PhotoQuest will be judged by Kathy Weigand.
