    The Professional Photographers of Oklahoma (PPOK) annual photographic competition offers two separate divisions for entries. The divisions are Photographic Open and Artist. Participants, also referred to as makers or entrants, can enter cases in one or both divisions. The term “case” consists of the combined 6 top scoring entries entered by that maker for each division. Only digital entries will be judged.  

    Image entry is accepting entries at www.printcompetition.com until 11 PM on August 2, 2024.  The actual competition will be held on August 4th beginning at 9:00 AM.  The judging may be viewed live on www.printcompetition.com

    Saturday morning will begin with a couple of programs at the hotel.   The first one by Whitney & David Scott, immediately followed by Scott Robert Lim, who is sponsored by Sony & Arlington Camera.  Following a lunch break, we will take an excursion to Wompa, for the 2nd half of Scott Robert Lim’s program.  (Wompa is located at 3306 Charles Page Blvd in Tulsa)

There, you will have models provided for a shootout, while using the location's cool venue as a backdrop! (Bring your gear and stick around!)

    Note that there will also be two extra add-on classes available on Friday and Monday.  Gary Hughes hosts a Post-Expo workshop on Monday, while Scott Detweiler, who is sponsored by H+H Lab, will host a Pre-Expo class on Friday.
