Michael Broyles is our 2009 PPETN Photographer of the Year! Congratulations Michael!

Our photographer of the year award is based on the monthly meeting 8×10 competition. Each monthly meeting, members submit photographs that are voted on by the other members. Points are awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. Each year’s winner is based on the number of points won throughout that year.

We announced the Professional Photographers of East Tennessee “Photographer of the Year” at last night’s Holiday Party. It came down to the November 8×10 print competition to decide the winner. Our 2008 Photogapher of the year is:

Congratulations Wade! The November hat trick (winning 1st, 2nd and 3rd place) was the decision over a very close 2nd place by Kendall. Here are some of the winning images Wade submitted this year.

We will be starting with fresh tallies in January. So make sure to bring your 8×10 prints for the monthly print competitions throughout 2009!

Here are the winning images from November’s 8×10 monthly print competition:

1st Place - Wade Tipton

Congratulations to Wade for pulling off his second hat-trick in a row and winning 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place! This will more than likely mix things up as we make the final tallies for the 2008 Photographer of the Year award!

Our winners for the October 8×10 Print Competition are:

1st Place - Wade Tipton

Congratulations to Teresa Brown, our 1st place winner for March, 2008!
