PPA's AN-NE Awards Competition

The AN-NE Awards competition is back in its 10th year as the premier marketing competition for photographers, and continues to be one of the most coveted awards in the industry.

The AN-NEs are held by PPA to recognize and honor professional photographers for excellence in marketing their services. AN-NE winners and finalists are provided with publicity and prestige when they receive the following high-profile recognition:

• The first place entrant in each category will receive free PPA membership* for one year.
• First place entries will be featured as in-depth case studies in Professional Photographer magazine.
• First place entrants will receive their AN-NE at the PPA Awards and Degree Ceremony at the Imaging USA convention in January.
• First place and finalist entries will be displayed at Imaging USA.
• First place and finalist entries will be featured on www.ppa.com.
• For each of your entries that scores 75 or higher, you will receive one credit towards PPA's Certificate of Business Management (maximum of 5 credits).

This is a competition for PPA members only. Members may enter promotions in any or all of the twelve categories, but no more than one entry per category. Entries in all categories will also be considered for a special award, the Certified AN-NE Award. All entries must be received at PPA headquarters no later than October 3, 2005.

An official copy of the rules and submission guidelines, as well as a more detailed description of each category, can be found in the July issue of Professional Photographer magazine  or online at competitions.ppa.com.
