    These shows, usually held in March and October of each year, also introduced OCPA as an integral part of the art, civic and social community. Members' images, exhibited for public view, continue to heighten public appreciation of the abilities, creativity and dedication OCPA members.

    The main purpose for the exhibits is to show the photographic artistry of the camera club members. Between 20 and 30 members exhibit a total of approximately 200 images during the 4-day shows. Members of all skill levels are encouraged to share their works. Any sales that are made are a bonus.

2. The show will be advertised in the media according to the theme for that show. Although not required, photographers are encouraged to bring a photograph that fits the theme.
   
3. All photographs must be matted and framed to be hung and will have the name of photographer and price marked on each piece of work entered.
   
4. Photographs must not be wider or taller than the standards (at the discretion of the committee this requirement can be waived or altered).
   
5. Photographs in the flip bin must be mounted on foam core or heavy mat board, shrink wrapped or enclosed in clear plastic protective sleeves with the price written on the back of photograph.

   1. Hang your photographs throughout the space allotted.
   2. Put some of your photographs on the top and some on the bottom of the standard.
   3. Be sure your photograph looks good next to its ‘neighbor’ (alternate large and small photographs so it will be balanced; be sure colors go together).

   5. Adhere to the standard with blue masking tape (no sticky gum or tape that will remove paint from the standard). NO TAPE ON THE FRONT OF THE LABEL.
