January NPAC Photos of the Month
January 2018 is the first year that the NPAC East and West clips are merging to form one Monthly photo contest. This is exciting news as it will raise the level of competition and expertise needed to place in the top three. For me seeing as there is no sports feature category in the monthly contests I will need to expand my subject matter in the coming months to properly compete.
