We need 6 volunteers to work the print committee. You will be required to arrive at 9a on Sunday the 27th and will be done when it is over. If you are interested please call Tom Henn at 719-481-8529 or email him at tl2bfree@hotmail.com . Print committee is another excellent way to learn from the image competition. For your time we will thank you profusely!!
For the first time in PPC history you will be able to submit either prints or digital files. Four images is the maximum number of entries you are allowed but can be a combination of prints and/or digital files. PPA is establishing new rules for print and image competition.

Registering your entries:
Follow this link http://ppgmf.org/salons/ppc/index.html and fill out the form with your info. Please note that you will need a thumbnail image of each of your entries regardless of print or digital file entry. These thumbnails need to be no larger than 720 pixels at the longest measurement of your image at 72 PPI. They MUST be JPGs as the registration software will reject any other format. If you have previously named your files appropriately all you need to do is reduce your original files to this size for uploading. This is ONLY for registration purposes. Remember, if you are entering digital files you will be sending the actual entries via CD/DVD.
