Local Photographer Named “2010 Photographer of the Year” / Work Goes to International Exhibition
Four prints created by Christine Walsh-Newton of CWN Photography in Dover, Ohio has recently been accepted into the GENERAL Collection of the 2010 International Print Competition. Walsh-Newton’s work will be on display at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, January 16-18, 2010, in San Antonio, Texas. This exhibition is held in conjunction with Imaging USA, an annual convention of professional photographers and several photographic associations.
By having all four images from her competition category “merit” in the competition, Walsh-Newton also earned a 2010 Photographer of the Year award.A panel of 49 eminent jurors from across the United States selected the top images from more than 5,000 total submitted entries at Gwinnett Technical College in Georgia. Judged against a standard of excellence, almost 1,500 images were selected for the General Collection and just over 500 were selected for the esteemed Loan Collection—the best of the best. The Loan Collection images will be published in the much-anticipated “Loan Collection” book, and nearly 150 selected General Collection images will be published in the “Showcase” book by Marathon Press.
Titled “Bluecifer,” “Four Generations,” “Guinevere,” and “The Hit Man,” Walsh-Newton’s entries will be in San Antonio alongside other photographic works from not only PPA’s print competition, but also traveling and special invitational displays. These images constitute the world’s largest annual exhibit of professional photography gathered simultaneously under one roof.
Professional Photographers of America (PPA), an international non-profit association, exists to assist its 22,000 members in achieving their professional, artistic and fraternal goals; to 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.
