What we’re about
The New Jersey Federation of Camera Clubs (NJFCC) is an association of local camera clubs embracing a membership of more than eight hundred amateur photographers in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. The NJFCC is dedicated to making photography more interesting and rewarding to the individual, through service to his/her club and by pooling the resources of individual clubs for the benefit of all.
In 1951 a small group of representative photographers conceived the idea of an association of camera clubs to broaden and consolidate the high artistic and technical standards that have been the hallmark of amateur clubs, and to extend the opportunity beyond the confines of the individual club. Fifteen clubs became charter members in the first year, and since that time membership has grown.
The NJFCC is comprised of member clubs in New Jersey and surrounding areas. Its purpose is to bring together individuals and clubs who share a common interest in photography, to establish a learning environment and spread the knowledge, skills and the joy of photography. Affiliated club members may enter inter-club digital and print competitions scheduled throughout the year.
This group is designed for all level of photographers to join in on workshops or lectures in the greater metropolitan NJ/NY area throughout the year.

NJFCC's Nature Competitions are divided into four categories General Nature, Botany, Ornithology and Zoology. As with most nature competitions the main subject must be representative of the category; such as a bird for Ornithology. Nature images cannot contain any features that are man-made or visibly altered by man.
NJFCC competitions are judged by three judges who each enter a score, from 5 to 9, based on the technical aspects and visual impact of the image. The scores are added together to determine winners of the Medal, Merit and Honorable Mention. Entries in the Competitions come from all NJFCC member clubs and were submitted prior to the competition.
