You are invited to become a member in a local camera club near you to take your photography to the next level.

First Place, Best in Division and Best of Show Winners from the N4C 2025 August/September Competition

In response to the on-going Covid-19 virus, N4C Board meetings will be hybrid as clubs are gradually returning to print competitions.

The Northern California Council of Camera Clubs (N4C) is the umbrella organization for sixteen San Francisco Bay Area camera clubs, whose members comprise photography enthusiasts—beginners, amateurs and professionals.

N4C provides an opportunity to grow photographically and compete at an interclub level. Most individual member clubs hold their own local monthly judged competitions in two photographic mediums, Prints and Projected Images, and in various subject matter.

Join in the fun with N4C and their local camera clubs. Participate in field trips, seminars, and workshops, share learning experiences and camaraderie among fellow photographers in your area!


To see all winning photos submitted for the month and for additional information,
please visit the N4C’s PhotoClubServices Website.
