I had seven entries and out of those, 5 merited. Now - that probably doesn't mean a lot to most of you, but it was a great honor, as I knew several well-known, well-experienced photographers who didn't merit at all. I also received a "Judge's Choice" award on two of my prints. To give you a little perspective, there were over 125 entries and only 6 judges. I sure was honored!
At the end of the conference, there was an awards ceremony where I was honored with "Idaho's Rookie Photographer of the Year". I was presented with a beautiful crystal that is proudly displayed in my studio.
Anyway - as I reminisce over the last few years of my photographic journey, I want to thank every one of you, without whom, I would not be where I am today!
These were the meriting entries:
Judge's Choice - Bambi Cantrell - http://www.cantrellportrait.com

I also entered and merited with a "finished product" of my son's 1st Birthday Card. I posted it last year - Click HERE to see it :).
