BILLINGSLEY NAMED SILVER MEDALIST

Deborah Billingsley was named a Silver Medalist during Professional Photographers of America’s 2019 International Photographic Competition. Billingsley’s work will be on display at the Gaylord Opryland Convention Center in Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 19-21. This International Photographic Exhibit is held in conjunction with Imaging USA, an annual convention and expo for professional photographers.

A panel of 36 eminent jurors from across the United States selected the top photographs from over 5,200 total submitted entries at PPA headquarters in Atlanta. Judged against a standard of excellence, 2,654 images were selected for the General Collection and 625 were selected for the esteemed Loan Collection — the best of the best. The Loan Collection images will all be published in the much-anticipated Loan Collection book by Marathon Press.

The level of the award is determined by how many of those four images receive the highest possible honor: acceptance into the PPA Loan Collection, which is displayed at photographic exhibitions, conventions and other photography events. Billingsley was named a Silver Medalist, meaning that one of her four merited images entered the PPA Loan Collection.
