John submitted his winning image in 2009’s “stairs” assignment competition. Gulf States does not have an assignment category. However, images that place in GSACC’s assignment category may be entered in other categories in Gulf States. January’s Projected Digital competition was scored by the Lions Field Camera Club. Scores for other GSACC images in this competition are listed below. Entries are listed alphabetically by the maker’s last name:

GSACC mailed images for the January PJ Projected Image competition. However, images that were submitted will not be scored.
Gulf States Competition VP Tom Savage explained via email that there was a problem with this particular competition. The problem was that the e-mail address given for sending images was incorrect. When clubs e-mailed entries, no error message was received. Because of that, many entries were never received by the judging club.
The GSCCC Board decided to void the January PJ Projected Image competition. Images that were submitted for this competition may be used in the next PJ Projected Digital competition in March.
