- KC
earns Silver Level Photographer of the Year Award
KC Montgomery of Montgomery Photographics
& Advertising, Inc. in Fairview, OK has earned
a Silver Level Photographer of the Year Award from
Professional Photographers of America (PPA). Photographer
of the Year presentations were made at PPA's annual
convention, Imaging USA, in January in New Orleans,
LA.
2005 is the inaugural year for PPA's
Photographer of the Year Awards. They were developed
as a way to encourage photographers to improve their
artistic and technical skills and demonstrate their
talent through competition, as well as a way for
the public to discern the best of the best.
"These awards are among the most
prestigious in the industry," confirms PPA
Print Exhibition Committee Chairman Mark Garber.
"The recipients of these awards have proven
the quality of their work on a consistent basis
in one of the highest quality image competitions
in the world, PPA's International Print Competition."
A PPA member earns a Photographer
of the Year Award by earning a merit for each of
the four images included in their print case - an
incredible accomplishment. All merited images enter
PPA's renowned General Collection.
The level of the award is determined
by how many of those four images receive the highest
possible honor: acceptance into the PPA Loan Collection.
The Loan Collection travels the world for one year
and is displayed at print exhibitions, conventions
and other photography events.
KC Montgomery received a Silver Level
Photographer of the Year Award, meaning that one
of his four merited prints entered the PPA Loan
Collection. In 2005 he was only one of 52 Silver
Level Photogaphers of the Year.
PPA, a worldwide association, exists
to assist its more than 14,000 members in achieving
their professional, artistic and fraternal goals,
promote public awareness of the profession and to
advance the making of images in all of its disciplines
as an art, a science and a visual recorder of history.
