Speaking Topic
Brad will be speaking about entering print competitions through PPA and the fantastic opportunities and education that are available through entering. His talk during the meeting will teach you what exactly print competition is, how it works, and how to fight your fear of entering. He understands how intimidating it can be to enter your work into a contest where a panel of judges will critique it down to the smallest detail. Brad will teach about working through your fear to get the most out of the entire process and how entering can lead you toward obtaining your prestigious Master of Photography Degree from PPA.
