Image Competition

Ready to showcase your skills and push your creative boundaries? Our image competition is the perfect opportunity to challenge yourself, receive valuable feedback, and gain recognition for your work.

PPGH’s monthly Image Competition is open to members only and hosted on printcompetition.com. Upcoming dates will be posted on the Events page. The PPGH Image Competition Rules can be found clicking the button below, and the Image Competition Committee is available to answer any questions.

Mentorship Program

Whether you’re just starting out or looking to elevate your craft, finding the right mentor can make all the difference. At PPGH, we connect you with seasoned professionals who are passionate about sharing their knowledge and helping you grow. It’s a huge perk of your membership!

Here’s how it works:

Mentorships span a period of 3 months.

Mentorship windows are January-March or August-October to avoid conflicting with busy season.

1 meeting (in person or via Zoom) each month with a 2 hour limit.

The mentor can specify topics on which s/he wants to mentor.

Any changes to the mentor/mentee relationship should be discussed with the mentorship coordinator.

Once your application is received, you will be matched with a mentor as the window opens and as mentors become available.
