"If I made a list of everything being a member of NPPA and entering contests have taught me, it would be a page-turner! So to say being a member has molded me into the photographer I am today would be a huge understatement. The thing I learned the most by entering the quarterly clip contest, is the importance of meaningful shots and making sure to never miss the moment."

— Angie Dones, photojournalist, WTVF

"From the workshops, the camaraderie and the contests, the NPPA has been a major factor in taking my work to a high level. The Quarterly Clip Contest and Best of Photojournalism competition set the industry standard of not just high quality TV Photojournalism, but Journalism itself."

— Jed Gamber, chief photojournalist, WBFF

"I credit NPPA for giving me the tools and training to transition from being a newspaper still photojournalist to motion. I can't say enough about the workshops. I look forward to more NPPA training."

— Annalisa Russell-Smith, visual journalist
