Congratulations to our award winning photographers!
This year at our annual conference, we held an image competition. Image competition is a way for our photographers to gain recognition for their work and it is very much an exercise in learning! Each image was scored on a scale of 1-100. Portraits scoring 80 or above earned the distinction of “Image of Excellence.” Judges critiqued each image based on the five characteristics of a Spoiled Rotten Portrait: Award Winning Images
