After speaking with Marc, this will be our schedule for the contest:

Wednesday Feb 4 -  8 p.m. - POY portfolio judging (closed judging)

Thursday Feb 5 -  9.a.m.  - category/multimedia judging (open judging) This is the day dedicated for SCNPA so if you plan on attending
just for the South Carolina portion, this is the day to come.

Winners will be announced and posted Thursday afternoon.

Sunday Feb 8 - 1:30 p.m. - Awards ceremony in conjunction with Southern Short Course POY announcement.

Judging our POY contest will be James Gregg, Bill Bangham and Nicole Fruge.
You can see their bios at

Denise McGill will also participate in Thursday’s category judging.

There will be a raffle for door prizes on Thursday after the judging is complete
and a raffle in conjunction with Southern Short Course on Sunday.
Sponsors include ThinkTank photo, Lowepro, Nikon, Camera Bits and Bogen.

I apologize for any confusion along the way. But please try to attend. I can’t begin to
tell you how important it is to support each other during these times. We have a great list of sponsors
this year and it should be a successful weekend.

P.S. There will be an print auction over the weekend. Marc asked me if we wanted to participate. If you wish to participate all you have to do
is bring a signed print, 8 X 10 or bigger, with you on Thursday. Let me know if you have any questions (803) 622-8819
Proceeds from the print auction will go to each one of our organizations.

Thanks all,
–

president, SCNPA
