The Fotoklub is a group of photographic art lovers from Český Krumlov and its surroundings. The Fotoklub´s activity links up with the tradition of the past four decades, and some members come to the club meetings from over 30 km away.
The present group of about 15 members meets every other Thursday after 5 o´clock in the afternoon in the greenroom of the
Town Theater in Český Krumlov. The Fotoklub´s activity is covered from the members´ own sources (who, besides others, had to buy the equipment of the cancelled OKS - the District Community Center - club to maintain their activity) and from the sponsor contribution of the firm Tabák - noviny belonging to Mrs. Benedová and Mrs. Bártová. Informal club meetings over photographs are filled out with a year-round four-stage club Master of the Fotoklub competition, exhibition activity in our Minigallery in the arcade, participation in the national club competition - the Map Round Nekázanka, and other individual as well as collective exhibitions and events with camera in hand (for instance report photographs of the Festival of the Five-petalled Rose in Český Krumlov, etc.). The fotoklub also keeps in touch with colleagues from Polish and Austrian clubs. Lately, the most joyful event has been the entry of young members. The Fotoklub does not grow old and the young photographers gain their first awards at competitions and begin exhibiting.
Last successes of photoclub are victories in 36., 37. and 38. annual Map round NEKÁZANKA in 1997,1998 and in year 1999. The Map Round Nekázanka is the oldest club competition in the Czech Republic. It gathers amateur as well as professional photographers together and lets them exchange topical opinions on photographic art among each other. The present clubs exchange collections of 15 30x40 photographs as well as a derived size. The clubs rate these photographs to each other according to fixed criteria.
At the beginning of 1998 we accepted an invitation to the International Map Round Šumava where we will compare our photographs with those of other three Czech and four Austrian Fotoklubs.
