Print Competition Awards
AZPPA Photographer of the Year Awards

 

AZPPA Awards are presented for prints that meet critera including Impact, Print Quality, Presentation, Originality and more. Prints are judged by a panel of experienced judges. A judging panel typically consists of five judges with one or two alternate judges. Whenever there is at least a ten point difference between the highest and lowest scores, the image score is automatically "challenged” and is re-scored after a discussion period when each judge is allowed to present his/her reasons for their score. There are five categories in the Open and Masters Divisions with the top three scoring prints receiving awards. Additionally, the total score of the photographer's print case is used to determine the Emil Egar Photographer of the Year & the Frank Rigo Award going to the highest scoring printcase of a first time entry to print competition. The Al Buehman Award is given for the High Scoring Print. ASP Award is presented to the highest scoring print of an American Society of Photographer member. The "Arizona Top Ten" is awarded to the highest soring print cases. See list at the bottom of this page for the list of winners. If you are a photographer start working on your print case for next year. As nice as it is to win awards, please remember Print Competition is organized to help you learn and grow as a photographer. You enter print competition to become a better photographer. See you there!!!
