International Photographic Competition 2019 Results | The Woodlands, TX Photographer

Diamond and Platinum 2019 Medalist

Cristie competed in Professional Photographers of America 2019 International Competition and is thrilled to announce that she once again was named a Diamond and Platinum Medalist. In 2019, they were one of only 20 Diamond Photographers of the Year, and only 37 Platinum photographers of the Year.

A panel of 36 eminent jurors from across the United States selected the top photographs from over 5,200 total submitted entries at PPA headquarters in Atlanta. Judged against a standard of excellence, 2,654 images were selected for the General Collection and 625 (roughly 12 percent) were selected for the esteemed Loan Collection—the best of the best. The Loan Collection images will all be published in the much-anticipated "Loan Collection" book by Marathon Press. All 8 of Cristie’s images were selected as part of the General Collection, and 7 out of the 8 were selected for the Loan Collection.

Four of Cristie’s images have also been selected to be in the running for this year's Grand Imaging Awards. The winners will be announced at the national convention held in Nashville, Tennessee, January 19-21, 2020.

Platinum and Gold Photographer of the Year

International Print Competition is held every year. PPA members from across the globe join the competition. IPC involves two judgings. The first one determines if your images are merit-worthy (yeah, that’s industry-speak to say you made the first cut). If they are, you earn a second judging, which could possibly earn you an additional merit and a spot in the Loan Collection (our way of saying that your work is the “best of the best”).

This year, during the 2017 IPC, a panel of 33 eminent jurors from across the United States judged nearly 5,800 total submitted entries. Only, 2,660 images were selected for the General Collection and 644 (roughly 11 percent) were selected for the esteemed Loan Collection.

Each participant can enter 2 separate cases (4 images each) to be judged. Cristie turned in a General case and an Artist case for a total of 8 images. All 8 images were selected as part of the General Collection, and 5 out of the 8 were selected for the Loan Collection.

Cristie was named Platinum Artist Medalist, meaning that 3 of her artist merited images entered the PPA Loan Collection. She was also named  Gold Medalist, meaning that two of her general merited images entered the PPA Loan Collection.  In 2017, she was one of only 3 Platinum Artist photographers of the Year and one of only 50 Gold photographers of the Year.
