Every year the Queensland AIPP (Australian Institute of Professional Photography) hosts their annual print award competition and this year I finally entered.   I am super proud to announce that one of my favourite prints won a Silver Award at this year’s Queensland Professional Photographer Awards! Entering a competition like this is nerve-wracking but so beneficial  because it is an opportunity to be critiqued by some of the top professionals in the field of photography.  There were 26% more entries this year than in past competitions, thus making it even more thrilling to have won a Silver Award. I watched the judging via Live Stream on the web and when my print came up for judging I’m not sure I even remembered to breathe for the entire duration of its ajudication. When the score was announced and I realised I’d earned a Silver Award, let’s just say that I did a victory dance that I’m pretty relieved no one was around to record! The winning print below was taken of Kim & Dane in San Francisco City Hall.
