You have just two days to enter the POY contest and less than two weeks to register for the seminar. Check this site for downloads of all of the needed forms. The biggest change this year is that the POY, CPOY and Sports Portfolio judging is open all the way until the winners are chosen.

The Kentucky News Photographers Association is hosting its annual POY contest and Educational Seminar at the Marriott East in Louisville Friday and Saturday January 16 and 17. We have a strong lineup of speakers a vendor room and prize giveaways.

The biggest change this year is that the POY, CPOY and Sports Portfolio judging is open all the way until the winners are chosen. Yes, that’s right, we are looking to create a little buzz around the POY, Sports POY and CPOY. Come listen to the judges comment and critique the state’s best work.

With a slumping economy and an uncertain future for journalists, the KNPA weekend is a chance to visit with old friends and rekindle new relationships. There is a camaraderie between photojournalists that keeps us going. Don’t miss this opportunity to recharge your batteries and see the best photojournalism in the state.

Please pass this email on to any photographers, both students and professionals, and encourage them to attend. Also, if you are receiving this email once or twice or do not wish to be on the list, let me know and our apologies. We are working to drum up excitement about one of the best seminars in the country.
