Of these, more than 50 placed first in the monthly competitions which qualified them to compete for the top awards. These awards were announced during the CCC’s annual year-end awards banquet at Cadbury in Lewes.

Also during this banquet, numerous members were recognized including the Photographer of the Year for the CCC’s Group B, Dick Snyder; the Photographer of the Year for CCC’s Group A, David Ara; and tied for Photographer of the Year for CCC's Masters Group were Ken Arni and Leslie Sinclair.
