N4C is the Northern California Council of Camera Clubs, and is the governing body for over a dozen San Francisco Bay Area Camera Clubs.

N4C collects prints and digital images from each club monthly and has judged competitions with awards going to first through fifth place in each category. 

Each local camera club has its own monthly judged competitions in several categories with winners from these categories that go to N4C for judge competition among all the other clubs. 

Each year N4C has an Annual Banquet along with its annual competition of judged winners form each category (the best of the best for the year).
