Notes on Scoring Photographer of the Year:
The total score each maker receives for all entries to both Image Competitions will be added to determine the ranking for the Top Ten Photographers. Your best chance on earning a place in the PPCF TOP 10 is to participate and submit 4 images in both competitions. GOOD LUCK!
