Welcome to the January 2023 PPWA newsletter
Welcome to 2023 and what a year we have planned for our members!! Plans for our own State Pro Photography Awards are now well and truly underway and a new outlook and a new State Awards committee with some fresh eyes are really bringing this to life. An accreditation process is in the later stages of planning and we are preparing to launch it early this year. Some EPIC events with both educational and social outlooks are planned along with our amazing sponsors.
Membership of Pro Photography WA will mean attendance to members only events, considerably cheaper ticket prices and access to events where members are offered free tickets. The best value for membership is definitely January (now!) so if you have been thinking about it, now is the time to jump in!
(Membership will cost the same whether you join now or in June with renewals at the end of this year. Best to join now to get the full 12 months of value – see https://www.prophotographywa.com.au/how_to_join)
Let’s take a quick look back at our first 6 months. We launched in July 2022 after 6 months of many hours of behind the scenes work from a passionate few. As the committee grew and rearranged, the events have grown, as has the membership. Our incredible sponsors have been there from the get go and again, we can’t thank them enough. Our amazing sponsors are supporting our vision, our community and our industry. We simply wouldn’t be here without them!! A huge shout out to them and please support them in any way you can. So in 6 months we have held a launch with some incredible speakers, a breakfast event which was free (including breakfast) for the members that jumped in head first in support of us, a photowalk, ten cubed where we heard 10 amazing speakers share their stories, Team Digital shared some events provided free for members (such incredible generosity) and a brilliant Christmas party. A jam packed 6 months is only going to lead into a fabulous 12 months for 2023. If you feel this could be something for you then jump in and apply.
