PPA’s International Photographic Competition is a world-renowned photographic competition, where entries are evaluated against a standard of excellence (not against each other).

Why enter?

• Increase your skill and confidence in your craft. Preparing to submit entries to the International Photographic Competition (gathering images, tweaking images, discussing choices with peers) forces you to look deeper at your own photography. It helps you see techniques to improve and ideas to try.
• Earn merits towards a Masters Degree. If your entry scores above a certain level, you will earn a merit, which adds up to a PPA degree. And those degrees recognize a level of commitment to and skill in photography.
• Go “Loan.” Your image could score high enough to secure a spot in the International Traveling Loan Collection, which travels to different exhibits and is published in a book.

You can enter commercial, portrait, illustrative, and wedding prints, digital files, and albums. Just follow the rules…and good luck!
