PPNC State Photographic Competition
Professional Photographers of North Carolina is our state’s professional guild. This organization offers photographers resources such as industry networking, continuing education, and more. Each year, PPNC hosts a statewide photographic competition for its members. The best images are selected for the state Court of Honor, and then from these, the top images in each category are selected for further awards.
Indigosilver’s Competition Results
This year, we are proud to announce, indigosilver turned out a stellar performance at the state competition! Between Jeff and Lori, the studio brought home a total of 17 Court of Honor photographs and albums. Of these, 2 were selected for First Place within their respective categories, 5 received Second Place, 3 received Third Place, and 1 received an Honorable Mention.
Jeff and Lori together submitted a wedding album into the Multi-Maker Wedding Album category (meaning more than one photographer) and brought home Second Place in that category! Albums are judged not just on one image, but a collection of several images that must ALL be worthy of the Court of Honor! In addition to image quality, albums are also judged on design aesthetic.
Having an album in the Court of Honor is already a huge accomplishment — We are THRILLED to have created the second-best wedding album in the state! Here is a photo of the actual album. Click here to see the full album design, make sure you click the arrow on the far right of your screen to open the album!
