Professional Photographer Magazine Opens Its Pages: 2008 Cover Photo Contest

ATLANTA—Photographers who dream of seeing their work on the cover of a national magazine will soon have their chance. Professional Photographer magazine is hosting a Cover Photo Contest (www.ppmag.com) from March 1 to May 31, 2008.

This contest could be the first of its kind in Professional Photographer’s known history, although it is difficult to make that claim when talking about a hundred-year-old publication. Regardless, it opens a plethora of possibilities for image-makers.

On the search for real-world examples of portrait, wedding, commercial, and event photography, the Professional Photographer Cover Photo Contest is open to all photographers. Entries (low-resolution digital image files) will be judged on technical and artistic merit. Judges will include the magazine’s editors and guest judge Helen K. Yancy, M.Photog.M.Artist.MEI.Cr.Hon.M.Photog., CPP, F-ASP, Hon. F-ASP, the chairman of Professional Photographers of America’s Print Exhibition Committee. Along with landing the cover of a 2008 edition of the magazine, the winner will receive a selection of prizes totaling more than $15,000 from sponsors Bogen, Canon, Kodak, Microsoft, and Miller’s Professional Imaging. Those sponsors will also award prizes for 2nd-, 3rd-, 4th-, and 5th-place winners and up to 25 honorable mentions.
