Join us for one of the most meaningful nights of the PPSDC year!
For a celebration filled with warmth, encouragement, and the spirit of community. This annual gathering brings us together to honor the photographers whose images rose to the top across all five competitions, acknowledge the heart behind every submission shared this year, and uplift the courage it takes to grow in the craft.
This evening also marks a significant transition as we honor our outgoing board of directors, including four years of dedicated volunteer leadership from President Michelle Pennings and her Board, whose commitment to loving people through photography has helped shape the welcoming culture we enjoy today. We will also introduce the Incoming 2026 Board of Directors, who will guide PPSDC into a new season devoted to growth, connection, and creativity.
In addition to our awards and leadership transition, we will enjoy one of PPSDC’s most beloved traditions—our Holiday Photo Gift Exchange. Each participant brings a photograph they created, printed and framed or presented in another thoughtful way, wrapped and ready for exchange. Gifts will be selected, unwrapped, and yes, they can be “stolen” as the game unfolds. Bring a wrapped photo gift to join the fun and be part of this lively and memorable tradition.
We hope this celebration inspires you—whether you’ve competed for years or are joining this event as a new member, for the first time. Our hope is you will step into the creative process with intention and renewed enthusiasm in 2026 with us.
Join us for a night of Gratitude, Honor, and Shared Creativity. We look forward to celebrating with you-guests are welcome!
