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

Our 2nd quarter Image Competition was held Monday, May 12th. We had 47 excellent entries in 9 categories: Architecture/Industrial, Fashion/Editorial, Illustrative, Lifestyle, Nature/Wildlife, Landscape, Open Nature/Animal/Landscape, Portrait Studio, and Photojournalism. The judging by 3 experienced PPC Judges: Antonie Didienne, Dea Bachard Meyer, and Michael Van Auken 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.
