CIPPA February 2025 Image Competition ~ Best of Show & Category Winners!

Our 1st quarter Image Competition was held Monday, February 10th. We had 49 excellent entries in 11 categories: Commercial, Fashion/Editorial, Creative Imaging, Electronic IMaging, Illustrative, Lifestyle, Nature/Wildlife, Landscape, Open Nature/Animal/Landscape, Portrait Studio, and Photojournalism. The judging by 3 experienced PPC Judges: John Powers, Elizabeth Toller, and Kristi Elias was excellent. Each judge brought a different view and critique skill set. Kudos to all who entered, every single photograph had emotional meaning and impact.
