The CVDCC is a member club of the Photographic Society of America (PSA), and normally utilizes similar category definitions that PSA publishes on occasion in the PSA Journal and elsewhere, as to what can and what will not be allowed into competition as far as content is concerned. As these rules for PSA evolve, the CVDCC Board OF Directors will discuss and decide how these changes may pertain to the CVDCC. The Board will institute changes to the rules as they see fit after a proper vote on any changes.
Category Definitions will be rigorously followed by competition judges. Please also see the definition of “Manipulation” as used in these Category Definitions. Even where Manipulation is prohibited, the use of cropping, color correction, and brightness/contrast adjustments is permitted provided this does not result in an image that looks "unnatural"
