Professional Photographers of America (PPA) Extends International Photographic Competition Entry Deadline
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) June 22, 2017 -- Professional Photographers of America (PPA) has extended the deadline for submissions to the International Photographic Competition (IPC) to give more photographers the opportunity to enter. Photographers now have the "late registration window" from June 22, 5pm ET, 2017 until July 6, 5pm ET, 2017 to enter their images, with an additional late fee for processing.
The IPC challenges photographers to grow their artistic and technical photography skills by creatively capturing and presenting their best images, and by doing so, improving their businesses. The competition is open to all, but also gives PPA photographers the opportunity to earn merits toward photography degrees.
To enter, photographers submit prints, electronic files and physical and/or digital albums to be judged by a panel of qualified photographic experts. Competitors must designate the category under which each image is being submitted. The four categories include: portrait, illustrative and album (event and non-event).
Images that earn merits will move on to a second round of judging, which could possibly earn an additional merit and a place in the prestigious Loan Collection. These images are compiled into a book, published by Marathon Press, and will be showcased in a special exhibit at the Imaging USA 2018 photography convention and trade show in Nashville, TN.
Those who don't earn merits don't have to leave empty-handed; critiques from IPC judges will be available upon request as a way to help participants find areas of improvement and prepare for future photo competitions.
Competitors must submit their images by 5pm ET, July 6, 2017. Physical print entry cases must be received within seven days of the entry deadline. The judging will be streamed live July 30, 4 – 7pm ET, July 31 & August 1, 8:30am – 6pm ET, and August 2, 8:30am to finish. Bookmark the page now at http://www.Stream.theIPC.org.
