August 24, 2011 – PRESS SUMMARY – Wedding & Portrait Photographers International (WPPI) announces that entries are now being accepted into the first WPPI NYC @ PhotoPlus 16 x 20 Print Competition. Entries will be accepted from now until September 23, 2011. Categories include Wedding: Bride and Groom Together, Bride or Groom Alone and Wedding Party; and Portrait – Individual and Group.
“Print competitions have always been taken very seriously throughout WPPI’s history,” said George Varanakis, Show Director of WPPI and Publisher of Rangefinder. “And WPPI NYC wouldn’t be complete without a presentation of the best prints in Wedding and Portrait photography.”
The top-scoring prints will be displayed before 25,000 attendees at WPPI NYC @ PhotoPlus, October 27 and 28 at the Javits Convention Center in New York City. Trophies will be awarded to first-place winners who will also receive a one-year WPPI membership and a free registration with guest to WPPI 2012. Accolade points will be awarded to WPPI members for prints scoring 80 or above. A Wedding and Portrait Grand Award winner will be chosen and then recognized at the WPPI 2012 Convention and Trade Show taking place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, NV, next February.
