It’s Alive!!!
Can you believe it? MNPA is back. Thanks to the help of Ben Garvin, Jim Gehrz, Janet Reeves and especially our new web guru McKenna Ewen. We’re leaner, more nimble, and ready to move forward. Check out the new and improved website which will be our portal to visual fun and excitement in our region. http://www.mnpa.org/ Here’s our plan.
Contest:
Yes we have one! The due date for entries is Sunday April 10th 10:00 pm. Please go to the website for all the details. http://www.mnpa.org/?page_id=1436 It’s pretty simple. Click on the category and upload the file. The rules are the same as last year. The contest fees have changed slightly. Check it out. If you have any questions just email me or us at mnnewsphoto@gmail.com
The contest will be judged out of state. We’re sending it off and the hope is to have all three judges, from the same locale, meet and look at the work together. The multi-media would be judged by separate group of folks.
Eligibility especially for the freelancers in the area can be an issue. If you’ve lived in Minnesota in 2010 and/or had done work for a Minnesota news organization (paper, magazine or website) you are eligible. If you have any questions just email us.

Farewell
Yes it’s Minnesota photographers’ personal cheerleader again but this time she has some sad news. I am stepping down as president of MNPA. It’s actually pretty painful for me to let go. I still have so much I wanted to accomplish but it’s time. It’s time for a new president and new ideas. I can’t tell you how much fun it was to meet all of you. So many different people from all over the state and some folks right in town that I didn’t even know about. It was an honor meeting you and looking at your work year after year.
Thank you for your participation. Remember without you there is no organization. Speaking to that someone will need to take the reins. Someone will need to lead the MNPA. If you are interested please let me know. I’m not going anywhere so whoever decides to take this job they will have my support and the support of all the people that care about this organization. You will not be alone.
Well thanks everyone for a fabulous time. Your former president but still your cheerleader,
