PPWC Image Competition

During the COVID19 SiP Orders, PPWC elected to have online digital image competitions. There is no fee to enter.  

To enter, you must be a PPWC or PPSV active member in good standing. 

Members, please refer to this month's image competition email for further directions. 

Classification of entries:

(I)  Illustrative - Images such as photographic art, photojournalism, architectural, commercial or other images that do not fit any of the other categories. Portraits and wedding images are not appropriate for this category.

(E)  Electronic- This category is appropriate for digital art - images created or drastically altered in software like Adobe Photoshop®. Although digitally manipulated images are also allowed in the above categories, this is a category exclusively showcasing such art. If the digital darkroom work is the main attraction of the photo, or plays a big part, enter it here. Please remember to attach a copy of the original image prior to editing.

(SP) Studio Portrait - An image capturing a person or people, pet or animal that is in an environment with the photographer having control of lighting, posing, situation, wardrobe, and/or setting where the photographer has control over the image capture and a reasonable amount of time to create the image.

(EP) Environmental Portrait - The category shall include images out of a studio environment where the photographer has control over the image capture and a reasonable amount of time to create the image.

(W)  Wedding - This category is meant to stay in the spirit of a photographer working with actual clients in the confines of a wedding while having limited control of the subjects and situations. All images will be photographed on the day(s) of the event.
