"Thank you" all who submitted work for our "Print Critique" at our last meeting. Both Prints and Digital files were reviewed by our panel of judges. They gave their opinions and suggestions on what can be done to get them ready for our State Competition. Now it's time to get to finalize your work because the State Competition is right around the corner. The deadline for entry is April 8th and the Competition will be held on April 13th, 09 at the Hampton Inn in Flemington NJ. Everyone is invited to join us at the judging that day. It is very informational and a lot of fun. For more information and to download print competition rules and labels please log onto www.ppanj.com
Have a great day everyone.
