Photographer
of the Year is a coveted award of the yearly photo tilt by the
Wedding and Portrait Photographers of the Philippines.
This
is not an easy feat. After 30 different theme competitions, including OTS, from
February to November, WPPP Regular Members nationwide choose their best shots with the
ultimate goal of winning 1st, 2nd & 3rd Places and Accolade of Excellence
Award during the monthly contests to
earn enough points to land them in the sought-after title of Photographer of the
Year.
1st
place gets 1.50 points. 2nd place, 3rd place and accolade of
excellence award gets 1.00, 0.50 and 0.01 points respectively. With three themes photo competition per month, a
photographer rarely gets three 1st places in a row, so staying at the top is an arduous achievement even for the most award-winning of
photographer.
A
Photographer of the Year is one who emerged as the most winningest photographer having earned him the most number of points over the course of the photo
competition.
Photographers
in the wedding industry are encouraged to join the association not only to
measure their skills against the country’s very best but also to continue to
improve their chosen craft and professionalize the industry as well.
