North Central Camera Club Council (N4C)

Des Moines Camera Club is an active member of the N4C - North Central Camera Club Council - an organization of camera clubs whose purpose is to promote the enjoyment, skills, and science of photography.  N4C publishes a website, a monthly newsletter, and a handbook. N4C provides educational materials and programs, and promotes photography through contests.  Our members have the opportunity to enter a number of monthly contests in various subject categories.  Our club judges several contests for N4C each year, enabling our members to see photos from other clubs in our mid-west area.
