Dear PPA Member,

I love the saying: "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result."

Are you insane? Well, what are you doing in your business to push yourself to try new things and achieve different results?

PPA's International Photographic Competition is your solution to the insanity of your daily life. By entering your images, you can earn recognition, merits and a sense of accomplishment...not to mention the bragging rights, awards and ways to promote yourself to clients.

This week's Vital Signs gives you ways to prepare (your images and mind) to get involved with PPA's International Photographic Competition. While you may still be a little insane (we all are, you know...and it's not a bad thing!), at least you could have award-winning images to show for it!

Cheers,
Christel Aprigliano
Director of Member Value & Experience
