Upcoming Events

The MMCC's season runs from September to June. Throughout the season, MMCC yearly members can participate in monthly competitions. These competitions have two main categories: an "Open" category and a "Themed" category. The Open category is split into two skill levels: "Basic" for beginners and newer members, and "Salon" for our more advanced and professional photographers. In the Themed category, however, everyone competes together, giving new photographers a chance to challenge our most experienced members.
