The Frederick Camera Clique is pleased to announce the 39th Annual Juried Exhibit, which will be virtual for 2025.  Going virtual means that there is no need to print, frame, or deliver work to Frederick, thereby allowing photographers from both near and far to enter without additional expense if their work is accepted!  And more good news – this year, the prize amounts have increased!  We’re also pleased that Tony Sweet is our juror!  Get your entries in by March 9.  See the Frederick Camera Clique website for more information.
