Off the top of my head... I know that Dwight has all 5 degrees as well as Robert Faust. I'll probably remember the other one around 3 AM or so when my brain resets...

Jessica,
Welcome to the Forum !
It was really nice to finally meet you and Oscar in San Antonio.
Are you coming to N'Awlins in January??
Hello Rick,
Oscar & I enjoyed getting to finally meet you as well. Hopefully we’ll get a chance to actually talk in New Orleans!
All the time and effort that you and so many others dedicate to making IPC run smoothly is valued and appreciated.
Just remember - you have to finish it up by IPC 2012 to have the option of being known as MEI.Quote:

Back when we would actually get a printed PPA directory every year all the degree holders were listed in the front. Now I don't think there is a list anywhere.Quote:

can someone clarify for me that the M. Artist degree is still going to be for the same type submissions that the MEI was for. They just decided to rename it?
Yes, the same kind of entries. You can also add traditional artwork, but that's an option not a requirment.Quote:

just joking - yeah - it's a typo - carpal tunnel plus numerical dyslexia from looking at numbers all week...
The Four degrees are:
Master of Photography - gold
Photographic Craftsman - blue
Master Artist - white
Master of Electronic Imaging - red
And for Keith alone - for the Master Artist Squared - I'm gonna suggest green... or maybe purple, green, and gold (those are the Mardi Gras colors)
Mark, I couldn't help noticing your quote:
"Like you, I'm all for keeping awards in state. (I got two 98's in New Mexico, yet all the hardware went to 84 and lower scores)."
As Print Committee Chair for the New Mexico Convention, I must remind you that there were a total of seven scores in the 90's, including yours, and that in this year's International Print Competition our New Mexico members had six prints accepted into the PPA Loan Collection. Not to mention that you actually did get hardware equal in size to all the other New Mexico winners at our convention - you will recall it was the out of state trophy.

My apologies Dennis.
Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I didn't realize.
I didn't get to see all the judging, and didn't get to see all the prints/scores on the racks. Every time I tried to browse the gallery, I got pulled into a conversation.
I never did get to see all the work in depth, or see what everything scored.
Please accept my apologies.
I think that news is awesome. Especially when you see new faces on the podium the last few years. I listened for scores at the Awards Dinner, but they gave titles, but no scores.
I think Loan Collection news is awesome too. The state is getting stronger, and I'm really happy for you guys.
I've always held a deep respect for PPANM, and in no way did I mean to disparage with my comments.
I built the original website at no charge about 10 or 12 years ago.
Assisted with programs after the problems the state faced with a departing board member, at no charge, and always tried to help when PPANM called.
I hope you didn't take my comments as a knock on PPANM photographers, but I can see how it may have come across that way.
I was trying to commend the state for their rules regarding out of state members.
But not known for being all that eloquent.
