Welcome to the The Clips entry page!

The Contest Rules have been updated for 2024!

If you are still entering the “Portrait/Illustration” category, please note, the POIL category has been changed to PORT, that is portrait-only.  Please visit the rules page before you prepare your entries for the 2024 competition. 

The Clips is open to all NPPA members in good standing. Entries to the The Clips are open from the first of each month to 11:59 p.m. HDT on the 10th. It’s highly recommended that you submit ALL entries at once and that entries are fully prepared before photos are submitted. Submitting entries in multiple sets complicates the entry tracking system.

Entries cannot be altered once they have been submitted.
