While many club members just like to come out to the meetings to enjoy the fellowship of other people with similar interests, part of the philosophy of the club is that photographic competitions and exhibitions provide club members with exposure for their work and creates an environment that encourages improvement.

Our club hosts two photographic competitions a year that are open to the general public. Both Capture the Hills and Photo Art have long histories and are well respected in both the immediate community and beyond.

New faces are always welcome and encouraged. Look for more information about these competitions on this web site as the deadlines approach. Or for more information send us an email.

There are also a number of photo competitions that are open to club members only and others that involve both the Halton Hills Camera Club and surrounding clubs. Information about these competitions can be found in the restricted members-only area.

The 'Photo Art' competition is open to both amateur and professional photographers and promotes 'excellence in art of photography' within our community. The Halton Hills Camera Club has proudly sponsored this prestigious event for over 25 years and continues to raise awareness and promote photography as an art form with this competition. The event is held in the winter of each year (generally towards the end of February) and is open to adults and children alike. The competition itself is open only to the residents of the Town of Halton Hills and members of the Halton Hills Camera Club; but images may be taken anywhere in the world.
