2011 TNPPA President's Award
2011 TNPPA Convention
2011 TNPPA President Eddle Lambert and Salon Chairman/President Elect Mac Brown present J. Wade Tipton the 2011 Kodak Gallery Award for his print titled "Making It Happen" in the Metallic Print Category.
Kodak Gallery Award
Wade received Kodak's coveted Gallery Award at the Tennessee 2011 Annual convention held August 19th - 23rd in Franklin, TN. Wade's print was titled "Making It Happen" and was an image of a local Lenoir City Girl's basketball player. Wade has been invited to enter his print on a National level to compete with the best of the best in photography! The following is a description from Kodak explaining the Gallery Award process.
Kodak introduced the Gallery Awards in 1985 as a way to honor
and promote the importance and value of excellence in professional
photography.
Kodak has always represented quality imaging through its many
products and services and will continue to work to elevate the
importance of professional, quality imaging within the industry, as well
as with customers. It’s a connection we’re pleased to make.
Therefore, we are delighted once again to salute and support
outstanding professional photography and photographers by
presenting our annual Gallery and Gallery Elite Awards. The Gallery
Awards are judged on a state or regional basis, with winners going on
to compete at the national level for the Gallery Elite Award.
Gallery Awards will be presented, throughout the year, at annual
Professional Photographers of America (PPA) regional and state
conventions — in addition to those events’ customary awards.
The annual Gallery Elite Award will be judged prior to the national
PPA conference and trade show and honored at the Gallery Elite
Award Gala, held during the PPA’s national gathering, “Imaging USA,”
traditionally in January of each year.
Photographers will be considered for a KODAK Gallery Award in each
of the following fi ve categories:
• Portrait or Landscape Print
• Wedding Print
• Illustrative, Commercial, Electronic Imaging Print
• Printed Album or Book (any category)
• Print or Album using KODAK PROFESSIONAL ENDURA Metallic Paper
A region and/or state organization may award up to fi ve (5) trophies
total, in any combination of the designated categories. For example, if
there are no entries to be judged or that meet the judging-point criteria
in a certain category, more than one Gallery Award may be given in the
other designated categories. However, Kodak prefers that one Gallery
Award be given in each of the fi ve categories, provided each entry
has achieved the minimum 80-point criteria. The primary purpose
of the awards is to recognize and further the use of professionallyprinted
photography, especially if it utilizes KODAK PROFESSIONAL
Products (papers and chemistry). Therefore, Gallery and Gallery
Elite trophies are intended to be awarded for prints and printed
albums, not electronic-only images and video albums (e.g., CD,
DVD), which are outside of Kodak’s intended purpose.
