Success at the MPA Awards
The MPA Awards, Master Photographers Association is one of the highlights of my year as a professional photographer. All year, images are gathered together from client sessions, personal sessions and everywhere to put together my entry to these annual awards. There are monthly image competitions throughout the year, where you can get good critique and decide whether your images will cut the mustard! I've been lucky enough to win a monthly round this year and had several highly commended awards as well, so I thought I would go with the images I had done well with for the international MPA Master Photography Awards 2018.
My image sat alongside over 2000 images from professional photographers across the globe. The Awards evening was an absolute blast and I'm over the moon that I walked away with a Merit Award for this image. The standards were phenomenally high, with images scoring over 80 achieving the Merit standard.
I was also incredibly proud to be given an Award for my Monthly Competition win, along with a medal! Everyone loves a medal!!
Just before I left to travel to the Awards in Hinckley, I was also honoured to receive a Highly Commended award in last month's Monthly Competition. Wow! What a week!
So, all in all, a great weekend for celebrating, meeting old and new friends and seeing the incredible craftmanship produced by professional photographers from around the world. I am already planning for next year's entries and looking forward to another great weekend in 2019. Comment, share & enjoy xx
