Hi Russell,
There is a community for ACT deviant artists at ~
deviACT.
I have once previously attended at CPS meeting where people had presented photos and a guest awarded some prizes, perhaps a distinction, credit kind of thing if my memory serves.
I did not attend again as the focus seemed to be more conceptual and "artistic" .. however I have always been one to advocate the meet and greet of photographers and have previously suggested a joint DeviACT and Flikr ACT meet. (Flikr being another photographic site. This is their clubs
[link]).
I also created the ACT club on deviantart.
regards
