Anyone who wants to improve their work and continue to grow as a photographer should enter photographic competition. By sitting in on a competition and listening to the judges, you will learn what is important in an image and it will help you pay attention to the details in what you are shooting. Competition forces you to push harder than you might normally, and it can bring you to great things.

NHPPA is fortunate to have the same monitor setup used in PPA District and National competitions. We also have three Affiliate Jurors (those who judge at the district and national level) and two Jurors in Training on our panel this year. Entering your images here is a perfect way to get valuable feedback to take your photography skills to the next level and tweak those images before entering them in Northeast Districts or National competition.
