Judging The Best of The Best

A Week Of Inspiration

I just returned from Altanta after spending the week at Gwinett Technical College judging at PPA’s International Photographic Competition. Every year, judges from around the country get together for a week to judge the best photography from around the world. It is truly an exciting and inspiring week.

Over the course of the week, we judged over 5,200 images – then judged the top images again for the PPA Loan Collection.

There was live streaming of the judging and even an internet TV show – IPCLive. In case you missed my appearances on there, I’ll see if I can find a link! 🙂
