Each year, PPWV holds two large member gatherings: a Fall Seminar and Spring Convention. During each event, we hold print competitions where each image submitted by our members is judged according to the Professional Photographers of America's 12 Elements of a Merit Print. This provides our members the opportunity to have their work critiqued by fellow professionals based on nationwide criteria, get feedback on each image, and become inspired by seeing and exploring the work of their fellow photographers and creators.
Competitions are one of the best benefits of both PPWV and PPA, and provide the true opportunity for growth and artistic expression!
On this page, we are showcasing some of the very best work of our members entered into recent competitions. Each image reveals technical excellence, creativity, and passion for our profession!
Would YOU like to participate? If so, we welcome you to explore membership with PPWV!
