Images are how we express ourselves and communicate with others. Metro PPA's Members Only Print Competitions are designed to inspire our membership, encourage active shooting, skill-building, and continuous practice, fostering a culture of creativity, camaraderie, and lifelong learning.

At each monthly meeting, except December, we have a themed members-only photographic print competition judged by our guest speaker. Members will receive feedback from guest judges, master photographers, and other members alike to hone their photographic and competition skills and earn points toward their fellowship. The images will be printed on-site as an 8x10 and go home with their makers.

The monthly themes will be posted on the event calendar and on Social Media.
