Image Competition

Image Competition is by far, the most intense photographic education you can get. Through this process, you will learn to see and view your work in a more objective way, all the while developing a more refined skill set which carries over into your everyday work. We welcome everyone to participate in image competition. Newcomer or seasoned veteran, we all have something to offer and something to learn.

Image competition through our State Affiliate, MOPPA, is based on the 12 Elements of a Merit Image, as established by the Professional Photographers of America. 

This is a DIGITAL ONLY competition.

All images MUST be pre-registered and uploaded to PrintCompetition.com

MOPPA Image Competition



Develop is our annual educational conference that has taken place since 1940 (with the exception of one year for war, as stated in our history). It has had different names over the years but has always had the same goal: to educate, encourage, and honor Missouri photographers. This year it takes place in Jefferson City, Missouri. 

PPA members in good standing will receive one education merit from PPA for attending three days of Develop.
