Join the PSSA 70th birthday celebrations!

On 24 July this year PSSA turns 70! We would like to celebrate this milestone by showing the whole country the excellent quality of the work produced by our members. This will be done with a prestigious travelling print exhibition featuring a selection of work from our members. The aim is to select images from as many members as possible to illustrate the wide variety of photographic genres favoured by PSSA photographers.

You are therefore invited to submit by July 15th up to four of your best images via a special PSSA 70th Birthday Exhibition portal on PhotoVaultOnline (PVO). You can find it under My Entries – PSSA Specific.

The dimensions for entries on PVO will be the same as for salon entries, namely either 1920px wide or 1080px high and in colour and mono. But there is a difference: you must please have a high-resolution copy available that can be enlarged to A3 print size (maximum 18×12 inches), portrait or landscape format, if your image is selected for the exhibition.

From these entries, 60 images will be selected before July 24th to be included in the exhibition. Apart from the quality of the work, selection criteria will also be to show diverse genres and work from a variety of photographers.

Most PSSA regions have committed to host the travelling exhibition, which will be launched by the Eden Photographic Society in the Garden Route, who secured an exhibition spot as part of the Music and Arts Festival in Mossel Bay from Monday 23 to Friday 27 September this year. The exhibition will next be hosted by the Central Societies at the PSSA National Congress in Parys from 30th September to October 4th.
