NPOY entry clarification
« on: January 08, 2021, 09:37 PM »
There have been questions by some members if shooting for a private organization and having special access should or would exclude you from entering the NPOY contest.

At this time, the NPOY rules state that a photograph does not need to be published in print, and does not state that photographers must be on assignment or be working for a specific news organization to be eligible. Photojournalists must be an NPAC member and in good standing.

We see no reason at this time to create a rule to exclude how work is created, so long as it is keeping within journalistic standards.
