Why Enter?
- Increase your skill and confidence in your craft. Preparing to submit entries to the IPC (gathering images, tweaking images, discussing choices with peers) forces you to look deeper at your own photography. It helps you see techniques to improve and ideas to try.
- Earn merits towards a Master's Degree. If your entry scores above a certain level, you will earn a merit, which adds up to a PPA degree. And those degrees recognize a level of commitment to and skill in photography.
- Go “Loan.” Your image could score high enough to secure a spot in the International Traveling Loan Collection, which travels to different exhibits and is published in a book.
