PPANE Regional Competition
I just got back from the Professional Photographers Association of New England Convention. What a learning experience! I attended several seminars as well as participated in the print competition. I received lots of information and lots of inspiration from the programs. Also, my print case went 4 for 4. What that means is that all 4 images entered received a score of 80 or higher. 80 is the magic number for receiving a blue ribbon. Along with a blue ribbon is a seal on the back. The seal means that the image is automatically accepted at the PPA international print competition in 2008!!! How cool is that? I’ll have another 4/4 print case at PPA National next year! The image that scored the highest - 86, also received a Judges Choice ribbon. Only 7 such ribbons are handed out at a competition. There were 97 cases submitted and over 300 images in the competition. Your’s truely was one of only 3 photographers in the entire competition to achieve 4/4!
The Judges Choice ribbon went to the print titled “Quiet Confidence” shown here.
