Competition Winning Images Archives

Images from all our monthly competitions beginning in January 2018 through 2020

The Thousand Oaks Photo Group has been conducting photo challenges since its inception. This digital collection began with the January 2018 photo challenge. Although we did conduct photo challenges before that date, no digital record exists.

This gallery catalog includes our older contests. See our companion catalog, Competition Winning Images, where our most recent competition galleries are displayed.

For specific details on Print Competitions and Digital Image Composition Challenges, please refer to our Photo Competitions and Digital Composition Challenges overview page. To see images from a specific competition, please select from the links below or from the menu to the left.
