What is ACCC? (also referred to as A-triple C)

ACCC is an acronym for the Arizona Camera Club Council. ACCC is the way camera clubs in Arizona can work together on common goals and compete/show the images of club members. There are currently eleven clubs that make up ACCC. In addition, ACCC also provides a way for individuals, not just other clubs, to join in competitions and other activities, although there are very few individuals who participate in this way. ACCC is also a member of the Photographic Society of America (PSA).

ACCC holds three competitions each year. Two are for Arizona members, which are known as Roundups; one is held in the Spring and the other in the Fall. The third competition is the Grand Canyon International Competition.

ACCC is non-profit and each club pays a fee to be a member, which allows each club to have a representative on the ACCC governing board and have a voice in goals and activities.
