There is no better way to grow as a professional photographic artist than by entering judged competitions. Metro PPA hosts a free themed photographic print competition for its members every month except February and December .You will receive input on your images in a friendly, supportive environment from guest judges, master photographers and other members alike to help you hone your photographic and competition skills.

Competitions will be held at each regularly schedule monthly meeting and each member can enter up to (2) two images per month. Images will be printed on-site using a DNP-DS 8020 dye-sublimation photo printer. Images should have no watermark or makers name and renamed with the image title as a jpeg. Bring your print ready images sized to 3000 pixels on the longest side and cropped to an 8x10.

Metro PPA will print them and register you for the competition. You can sit back, enjoy the program and join the fun.

The monthly guest speaker will judge the images and award ribbons. All prints will go home with their makers courtesy of Metro and entrees can earn points towards your fellowship with Metro PPA. After the meeting the images go home with their makers.

July theme: Sport/Event

The Action/Event images are candid images that capture the peak motion of the moment taken in an event-type setting. For example, an action shot captured at a sporting event, an image of the first dance from a wedding, images taken during a concert, etc.
