It's a celebration filled with warmth, encouragement, and the spirit of community. Our annual Awards Ceremony brings us together to honor the photographers whose images rose to the top across all five competitions, acknowledge the heart behind every submission throughout the year, and recognize the courage it takes to grow in the craft of photography.
This evening also marks an important transition as we honor our outgoing board of directors, including four years of dedicated volunteer leadership from President Michelle Pennings, and her board. Michelle's commitment to loving people through photography along with her team has shaped the welcoming culture we are proud to share. We will also introduce the incoming 2026 Board of Directors, who will guide PPSDC into a new season focused on growth, connection, and creativity.
One of the highlights of the night is PPSDC’s beloved Holiday Photo Gift Exchange. Each participant brings a photograph they created—printed, framed, or presented on another medium or in another thoughtful way—wrapped and ready for exchange. Throughout the evening, gifts are chosen, unwrapped, and, in true PPSDC tradition, can be “stolen” as the game unfolds. Bring a wrapped photo gift to join this lively, memorable, and heartfelt tradition.
Whether you have been competing for years or are joining us for the first time, we hope this celebration encourages you to step into the creative process with intention, courage, and renewed enthusiasm in 2026.
Join us for a night of gratitude, honor, and shared creativity.
We look forward to celebrating with you—and guests are welcome!
