Over the past several years, N4C has sponsored a Portfolio competition in the Fall. For the purposes of the competition, a Portfolio is defined as:
“ ...a collection of images arranged in a sequence that represents a coherent body of work that reflects your personal style and photographic interest. A Portfolio has a theme or concept. In a portfolio the images work together as a whole to express your theme or concept in a way no single image can."
