Salon Competition
April 2, 2025
Salon competition will be held on the evening of April 2, 2025 with the judging starting promptly at 5:00 pm. The judging will be performed remotely and we have several ways for the membership to observe the event.
First, there will be two watch parties. For members from the South Dade region you can attend the watch party hosted by Robert Lino at his studio. Please RSVP at 305-554-9811for details and directions. For members in the North Dade and Broward regions Jesus Cabrera is hosting a watch party at his studio. RSVP with Jesus at 305-255-9922. So, come to a watch party and cheer on your colleagues and fellow photographers. Please do make sure to RSVP so that the host will be expecting you.
The second way to participate remotely is to use the Gameday App on printcompetition.com. This can be done from you home, office, or anywhere that you have an internet connection. The Gameday App in not actually an App. In reality, it is just a web link which can be accessed at:
https://printcompetition.com/home/apps
Since the Gameday App does not transmit audio you will need to open a Zoom link in a separate browser window from the Gameday App in order to hear the judge discuss the images. The link to the Zoom audio is as follows:

Competitors who have a premium subscription with printcompetition.com will receive their scores in realtime by text message as soon as the image is judged.
After the judging, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place images will be announced for each category. Lastly, the judges will provide critique for all entries. Make the most of the Watch Parties. They should be a lot of fun.
The submission of images to printcompetition.com begins on March 26, 2025. The deadline for submissions is April 1, 2025 at 11:00 pm. So, get your images ready! If you need further information or assistance do not hesitate to contact me, Tom Collins, Salon Chairman, at 305-790-4039 or tom@tomcollins.us.
