Dallas PPA

First off, congrats to all DPPA members who entered the SWPPA print competition at the 2009 Texas PPA Regional Convention in Arlington and received merits! It was a tough year to do so. Two years ago, 40% of all entries merited, last year it dropped to 32%, and this year it dropped further to 30%.

The Dallas PPA again rocked the print competition awards ceremony. Congrats to all Judge’s Ribbon, Fuji and Kodak trophy winners, Distinguished Print or Album winners, and category winners, including JB and DeEtte Sallee, Richard Sturdevant, David and Luke Edmonson, Margaret Bryant, Jim Herndon, and Liddie Deshotel. Congrats to our three 4-for-4 winners – Richard Sturdevant, Jim Herndon, and Larry Lourcey. A big congrats to Luke Edmonson, who won the high print case for a first time entry for the entire SWPPA.

And a super huge congratulations to Richard Sturdevant, who won both high print case for the SWPPA and the Best of Show award. He also won a Canon 5D Mark III to boot! We’ve asked him to share it, but no go. Richard did share his knowledge, though, at his two speaking appearances at the convention.
