"What Makes A Merit Image?" with Mark Sweeney

DATE: December 20th, 7pm-9:00pm

Zoom link will be emailed to registrants 24 hours before

Are you ready to jump into Photographic Competition? PPAM's annual Comp is coming up in February ahead of Evolve. If you have never entered, or just need some inspiration, join Mark for a fun virtual program. Mark will review PPA's "12 Elements of a Merit Image" to help you evaluate your own work to choose the best entries. He will use examples to demonstrate what's likely to do well, and what would make an entry fall short. This is one of two virtual programs to help you prepare for PPAM's Photographic Competition in February.
