January 20, 2015 Judging starts at 9:00 a.m. New for 2015: Image Critiques now available One of the PPC State Photographic Image Competition judges will give your entries a personal critique. This is a great opportunity to get some feedback to prepare your images for the PPA Western District Photographic Competition or the PPA International Photographic Competition. Critiques will be emailed to you within two weeks of the competition. It’s only $35 per case to have all of your images critiqued. PPC Affiliate Members that are Non-PPC Members will now be able to enter the PPC Image Competition. It is our hope that it will encourage people to enter image competitions, see what it’s about and learn how to improve their images. Non-PPC Members will not be able to receive PPC Merits or any Awards. Please note the difference between the PPC State Competition held alone and the jointly held PPC State with PPA Western District Competition: WHEN THE PPC STATE COMPETITION IS HELD ALONE: It is okay to enter Digital Images or Prints in order to receive PPC State Awards. If your entry merits or wins an award, you must provide a print for display at the upcoming Pro Photo Expo and Conference to receive your merit or award. WHEN PPC STATE AND PPA WESTERN DISTRICT COMPETITION ARE HELD TOGETHER: PPA requires Professional Photographers of California to host the PPA Western District Competition in conjunction with PPC’s Pro Photo Expo and Conference. PRINTS MUST BE ENTERED TO RECEIVE ANY STATE AWARD. Digital entries are only eligible for PPC State Merits, not awards.
