November is for Judging

 
As has been the custom the past several years, the November meeting will be dedicated to print evaluation and selecting of winning prints for the PPSA Yearly Awards to be presented at our annual Awards Banquet in December.

The first part of the evening, members should bring prints that they want critiqued. This helps all of us prepare for upcoming print competition.

The second part of the evening, we will select winning prints for the annual awards presentation. All members who have a print or folio that received a "First Place" award during the year MUST bring the entry to the November meeting to be eligible to win.

Print competition is a learning experience and makes all of us better photographers. Good Luc!
