Now for a bit more info about print competition.
Why do we enter print competition? To increase skill in our craft, show dedication to our art, and earn merits towards professional organization degrees.
How are prints judged? Images must receive a score of 76 points to receive a merit. Highest score in each category receives an additional two merits and a plaque. Entries must meet specific size and mounting requirements, and are judged on the following 12 elements, in order of importance: impact, creativity, technical excellence, composition, lighting, style, print presentation, center of interest, subject matter, color balance, technique, and story telling. More details on this can be found on PPA's (Professional Photographers of America) website.
