I’m thrilled to share some exciting results from the 2025 Professional Photographers of Nebraska Print Competition! This year, I entered four images, and the results were incredibly rewarding.

My Scores:

• Foggy Morning Over the Slovenian Hills – 84 (featured here)

• Out for a Smoke – 78

• Solitude – 79

• Under a Stormy Sky – 79

Awards & Recognition:

• 2nd Place Judge’s Award – Foggy Morning Over the Slovenian Hills (out of all 190 entries!)

• 5th Place Overall (Non-Master Category) – for the sum of my four entries

The Professional Photographers of Nebraska Print Competition is an incredible showcase of talent, bringing together some of the best photographers in Nebraska and beyond. With 190 total entries, I’m honored to have received 2nd place in the Judge’s Award category, which was open to all participants. My 5th place overall in the Non-Master category was also a huge achievement, though I’m not sure how many were competing in that division. Seeing Foggy Morning Over the Slovenian Hills recognized so highly was especially rewarding. This image truly captures the ethereal beauty of Slovenia’s landscapes, and I’m glad the judges connected with it.

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported my work! Competitions like this push me to keep refining my skills, and I’m looking forward to the next adventure!
