President’s Message

3 good reasons to enter the Salon Image Competition Artistic growth After the judging is done, each image will be critiques by the judges. These are national-level judges who are at the very top of the profession and they want to help you. The goal isn’t to point out flaws but rather to tell you how to make it and your future work even better.

Artists helping artists We all learn from every critique. Your fellow members want to hear the judges talk about your image just as much as you want to hear what the judges have to say about yours.

Bonus fourth reason It’s confidential The names of the image creators are not given in the critique session. That way, you have no reason to worry about what your peers may think of the comments the judges have.

You have everything to gain and nothing to lose I know it takes some courage to put your work up to critiques, but this is a chance to get a personal critique from three people who most of us would never have access to or be able to afford to get advice from.

Take advantage of it!

It helps your business

At your service,

If you win an award and not only first place, but any award, you have a great opportunity to let the world know. Send out press releases, email all your clients and prospects, post it on social media. Shout it from the rooftops! Do it even if you won nothing. Post your image, say how great it was to be in competition and what an honor it was to be in such great company and just leave it at that. Any opportunity to show your work and communicate your message is valuable.
