Along with great programs, speakers, and tradeshow products, the 2007 Commercial Photography Conference, hosted by the Commercial Photographers International (CPI), will showcase the winning images from CPI’s inaugural P3 Image Competition. CPI’s conference runs from January 13-14, but the P3 images will be on view during the entire three-day Imaging Expo, one of the photo industry’s largest trade shows, until January 16, 2007. And it is all found in the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas.
Over 200 images were submitted to CPI’s P3 Image Competition, from which a panel of five esteemed judges selected the images that would comprise the 2006 Awards. Winners include the following: Craig Minielly as CPI P3 Photographer of the Year, Ian Aleksander Adams for the Best in People Category and the Honorable Mention in the Products Category, Lou Russo for the Best in Places Category, Jeffrey Jacobs for the Honorable Mention in Places Category, and Jim DiVitale for the Best in Products Category.
In recognition of the achievement, all winners will gain one free year of CPI membership and will display his images at the world-renowned Imaging Expo and on the P3.MyCPI.com Winners Gallery. In addition, the Photographer of the Year and the Category Winners will receive cash prizes, and their images will be published in the March issue of Professional Photographer.
The P3 Image Competition was created to provide a place for commercial photographers, established and emerging, to promote their work and excel in their field. The competition also aims to unify the passion and talent of the commercial photographic community. On July 1, 2007, CPI will begin accepting new submissions for the competition.
Look for these inspiring images displayed in the new Gallery within the Association Booth at the Imaging Expo. For more information about the competition or the Commercial Photography Conference, please visit www.MyCPI.com.
