Are you interested in learning what goes on behind the scenes during PPA's Photographic Competition? Now is the perfect time to learn!

Join PPA-approved jury chairmen Helen Yancy and Dave Huntsman as they demystify the world of image judging. Held in conjunction with the International Photographic Competition in Atlanta, Georgia, this class will explore the ins and outs of what makes a print "merit worthy" and will provide students with the opportunity to observe the competition process and protocol. You'll leave this course feeling confident in your ability to identify merit images.
