I’m excited to share this year’s results from the Professional Photographer’s of America Internation Print Competition (IPC)! I compete to push myself, and to grow as an artist. I really enjoy it, and this is my fourth year entering. This year, four of my images were accepted into the General Collection, three of which will be published in this year’s showcase book. Three of my images were accepted into the esteemed Loan Collection and will be published in this years loan book. I also received a bronze medal for my artist case.
A huge thank you to Michelle Parsley for always pushing me to be a better artist! Here are my images.
Official Press Release
Santa Clarita Photographer Named Bronze Medalist at International Photographic Competition
Farrah Welch of Farrah Welch Photography is honored by peers and jurors for high-quality photography.
Santa Clarita, California – Farrah Welch of Farrah Welch Photography in Valencia, California was named a Bronze Medalist during Professional Photographers of America’s 2020 International Photographic Competition. Farrah’s work will be on display at the upcoming Imaging USA, held virtually January 17-19, 2021. Imaging USA is one of the largest annual conventions and expos for professional photographers.
A panel of 36 eminent jurors from across the United States selected the top photographs from over 5,000 total submitted entries at PPA headquarters in Atlanta. Judged against a standard of excellence, 1,706 images were selected for the General Collection and 865 (roughly 17 percent) were selected for the esteemed Loan Collection—the best of the best. The Loan Collection images will all be published in the much-anticipated “Loan Collection” book by Marathon Press.
The level of the award is determined by how many of those four images receive the highest possible honor: acceptance into the PPA Loan Collection, which is displayed at photographic exhibitions, conventions, and other photography events. Farrah was named a Bronze Medalist by earning a merit—a mark of quality and honor—for each of the four images included in their entry case to the International Photographic Competition. This is the most prestigious competition of its kind, where images are judged based on a standard of artistic excellence, not against each other. In 2020, they were one of only 170 Bronze Medalists.
