  Join instructors Phil White, M.Photog.Cr., CPP, IFP, and Michael Collins, M.Photog.Cr., F-PPI, for an inside look at photographic competition judging.
  

  They’ll start by breaking down the 12 Elements of a Merit Image, then dive into judging etiquette and the unique challenges judges face. Once you're up to speed, get ready for the "HOT SEAT"—you’ll have the chance to judge images live in a guided, educational setting.

  Don't worry - this is not a real competition. It’s a hands-on, low-pressure opportunity to learn by doing!
