Remember, the Clip Photographer of the Year earns 5 points toward the VNPA Photographer of the Year competition. This year we had a tie between Erica Yoon of the Roanoke Times and Jonathon Gruenke of the Daily Press for Clip Photographer of the year.
Clip Contest Rules:
No more than 12 entries in total.
All photos must be published in print or online for a professional media outlet during the quarter which the contest is taking place (UPDATED Oct. 2013).
If a photo is published in an ongoing series which fall in different quarters, it is acceptable to wait until the final quarter to submit them all at once.
A photo can only be entered once meaning a photo from a multiple cannot also be entered into a singles category (UPDATED Oct. 2013).
Photos must be sized at 1000 px on the longest edge.
