 For our regular meeting, July is inter-guild print competition month. Once a year, your guild and the Palm Beaches guild go head to head with members' best prints. Will you be joining us on July 16th?
The two guilds have been battling each other for years and we have split the last two. In 2007 PPGF had the pleasure of winning the competition, but in 2008 the PPGPB revealed the full power of the talent that they have. Each year one guild is the home team and the other the visiting team. This July 16th, PPGPB will be hosting the competition. For more specific information on time and location, visit www.ppgpb.com
Whoever wins in 2009, it will be fun and educational. The best way to learn about competition, other than entering, is to come and observe. You will find it fun to first form your own score for each print, then see the score that the judges give it. Even better, during critique you will learn why the judges scored as they did. So, if you feel that entering is too intimidating just yet, come anyway and learn. You will leave wishing you had competed and will be better prepared to do so in the next competition. You will also be inspired, which is what being a guild member is all about.

 The PPGF meets on the third Wednesday of each month (January through November). The programs take place at the Jaycees building.
DIRECTIONS - IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ CAREFULLY! Due to the weird location of the Jaycees building, you will not be able to make an accurate Internet map (which may show it on the wrong side of Hollywood Blvd)! But if you change the Google map from Street or Map view to Sattelite view and look at the streets and building close up, the directions below will make sense. For your map search use "Hollywood FL railroad museum", look on the south side of the Blvd. at the second building.
