And the winner is...


CONGRATULATIONS TO JANET OSHA MILLER!
We’re ringing in the New Year and announcing the winner of the First Ever PPANE Calendar Competition. This project was one that for years I have been wanting to do and as president was able to make it happen. My call for images turned up a raft of gorgeous work from PPANE members. Our talented members were excited by the prospect of this showcase for their work and our beautiful region and each entrant could enter four images - one for each season.
The images were judged at the convention by our print jurors and 16 winners
were selected. Yes, this is a 16 month calendar I will have copies for sale at the upcoming state conventions.

After the convention, images were posted on LustreColor’s
web site and all were invited to vote for a cover image. The competition was fierce with this image by Janet Miller of Vermont winning to be featured on the cover of this years calendar.
The image makers whose work will be featured inside are Janet Miller (4 images!), Barry Hayes (2), Pipere Sailer (2), Jack Holowitz (2), Ed Pedi, Andie Goodman,
Andrea Carbonneau, Mark Haskell, Marilyn Dillon and Candace Pratt Stiteler.

The calendar project is funded entirely by sponsorship from The Vermont Professional Photographers Association
and LustreColor and proceeds from calendar sales.
Congratulations to all who entered. Let’s have even more great entries next year!
