2009 PPETN Photographer of the Year

Congratulations to Michael Broyles!

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.

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!
