PPOC Image Salon Award

Well, I just got word last night that one of my photographs was accepted into the PPOC Image Salon. This is a national contest amongst the members of the Professional Photographers of Canada (PPOC).  Since you are up against other professional photographers, the competition is serious and intense. There are people that spend all year planning their entries.

I have a love/hate relationship with contests. I hate the competitive (and political) element, but I love the feedback from entering. The PPOC  contest includes the option for an audio commentary on your work fro the judges. I think the commentary alone is worth entering the contest. Constructive feedback about your work is invaluable to improving both your work and its direction.

As part of the contest, my work will be included in a book released every year.

You can find out more about the PPOC here.

Here is my winning photo. I’d love to hear your feedback on it as well.

I’d love to hear you feedback on this piece.
