In order to recognize quality photographic work over a period of time, a system of awards
based on ranking in competition over multiple ACCC Roundups is in use. It is also hoped
that these “Star” and “Galaxy” awards, which are given at the Fall Roundup, will
encourage members to continue participating in the Roundup competitions.
Points toward “Star” and “Galaxy” awards are accumulated separately for the Print
Division and Projected Images Division as follows:
- 2 points for each First or Second place
- 1 point for each Third Place or Honorable Mention
- Star Awards are awarded based on point accumulations as follows:
1 Star = 4 Points
2 Stars = 6 Points
3 Stars = 8 Points
4 Stars = 10 Points
5 Stars = 12 Points
- Galaxy Awards are based on the following criteria:
1 Galaxy = 16 Points
2 Galaxies = 20 Points
3 Galaxies = 2 First or Second Places after receiving two Galaxies
4 Galaxies = 2 First or Second Places after receiving three Galaxies
5 Galaxies = 2 First or Second Places after receiving four Galaxies
6 Galaxies = 3 First Places after receiving five Galaxies
7 Galaxies = 5 First Places after receiving six Galaxies
8 Galaxies = 5 First Places after receiving seven Galaxies
