thanks folks. time to say some words to this forum, means to you :

i am very happy to exchange my thoughts and experience here in LL,- thanks michael for your great moderation of it.  in fact i dont have any other meeting point with so many great photographers as i find them here.
its very inspiring for me to spend my time in this  forum. since i started to work digital 2004 i collected a lot of the things i know ( now ) here and formerly in the RG forum.
also i have met several colleagues of mine allover the world, whom i `ve met first here.
many things are contributed by photographers in this forum and not many places exist where colleagues share in a similar good atmosphere as we can find it here.
so even the fact that i participate since two years in this award thing is a result from confrontating me here with colleagues and looking over my border edge ( i never participated in any award before  in the IPA last year . i started to be more attentive to this award thing after a very unpleasent discussion here in LL some time ago ... and i am happy that i had some success in it )

Thanks Thierry for bringing it to our attention & congrats to Rainer. But there is ANOTHER photographer in our midst that has been recognized in those same awards.
    In catagory Architecture; BRIDGES > 3rd place is Maurizio Marcato title called "Fog Gate". As a matter of fact he under the name "Simplify" (rather appropo) he posted the same image > flipped horizontally & a smidgen cropped more, with gray neutral point shifted on Aug 7th, 2008 in now a DEFUNCT extremly popular thread (shame on you-U know who U are) " Recent Works, Post your MFDB work". on page #68, fourth one from bottom. Still a classic shot & I am glad he got the much deserved accolades. Bravissimo.

what a body composition, great shot.

.... as i said. here in LL ( esp. in the mf departement )  are many great photographers,
in- and outside of given awards. this makes the things here so interesting and unique.

Hi
No I don't know overall how many honorable mentions are awarded per category.  We got one series and one single in two different categories...

Thanks Denis

Same here - had no idea that the judging has occurred.

Was awarded three honorable mentions in the Photo Essay category for my Tibet, Burma and Angkor work.

Looking and trying to count the number of honorable mentions I arrived at conclusion that this year they were awarded to all images. I wish it was not the case since I received four of them for four entries.

Andre,

Not to demean anyone winning one of those things, but just know there are several of these big "award shows" out there. And just know that many of them are simply profit-making businesses, just like photographers, shopping centers, or sandwich shops.

It's like it's all the rage now, to have an awards show.

I'd just be suspicious when they have multiple award for "non-professional photographers" as well as photographers, or a category called "Best Photo Shot at f5.6", that the goal of the thing is to achieve maximum categories, and thus, MAXIMUM ENTRY FEE INCOME.

Not that anyone is being hoodwinked, but couldn't just Joe Anybody start one of these? Then he has a fancy logo done, and a fancy name, and all of a sudden it means something?

I guess if you filed it under simple promotion, then it's OK to do, but beyond that, I'm not sure what it really means to win one of those things, other than you wrote some guy a check to feature one of your pictures. Whether clients see these things, I don't know.

Just one opinion. Just go into these things with your eyes wide open.

The IPA awards have been around for a long time, and they are pretty well respected by people in the industry.  And are a great way for students to get their work seen as well.
