*IPC Judges should not view the video links within this article, of course. 🙂
Yesterday was the “early” deadline for the 2013 International Photographic Competition. Within the hour, I will be on my way to the UPS store with my case, so that it arrives by July 5th in Atlanta, Georgia.
My 2013 case consists of four images that sealed at the 2013 PPA Northeast District Photographic Competition. All four scored above an 80, so they automatically qualify for a merit when they are forwarded to IPC 2013. They will skip through the merit judging and go straight to the load judging. My case consists of one print and three digital images.
I believe that the greatest learning about print competition comes from viewing judging. A close runner-up would be to have your image critiqued by an affiliated judge. Through the magic and wonder of modern technology, I am able to share my 2013 Northeast Districts entries with you, which combine both. I hope they will be helpful in some manner.
If any Wootness fans out there would like to share theirs as well, and will grant Wootness the right to post them in a critique library for reference purposes, please email me: christine@wootness.net and give your email the subject PPA Critique.
Thanks for posting these. I've entered very few print competitions in my life of any type and this was a great look into the judging.
