AMPC Deadline Has Passed – More Excitement To Come!
The deadline for the 6th Annual Appalachian Mountain Photography Competition has come and gone, but it certainly didn’t arrive quietly! Hundreds of last minute submissions were received during the waning hours of the competition, and that resulted in technical issues, including the server locking up and several panicked phone calls to be answered.
The web site support staff would like to thank all of you for your patience as we implemented an alternate method of submitting photos and responded to your support tickets. Situations like that provide learning opportunities for everyone, and we are meeting soon to discuss improvements for upcoming competitions.
Please feel free to make a comment on improvements you would like to see for next year. Your feedback is invaluable and our number one goal is to make this process as smooth as possible. What did you find confusing? What worked well? What kind of features would you like to see? All comments will be weighed and considered with all seriousness.
Regardless of the technical issues, we had another record breaking year for number of photographs submitted – over 900!. We applaud all of you for submitting images that represent the Southern Appalachian region so well.
Today the finalists chosen for exhibition will be notified and we should be sending out an announcement with a list of the finalists early next week. We will also be posting an exhibition gallery online at HighCountryPhotos.com.
Thanks again for participating in this year’s competition and as I like to say, Happy Shooting!
