Any student studying with a photography or digital-imaging teacher may compete. The student must be officially enrolled in a course, enrolled in a workshop, or taking part in a school-sponsored photographic / imaging activity between January 1, 2010 and the entry deadline.

Exceptions: A working professional photographer who is enrolled as a part-time student or who enrolled only in a workshop is not eligible. Adult education students with a high school diploma should enter the College & University category.

All entries require teacher participation, although the teacher listed on the entry form does not need to be a member of PIEA.

Single images entered must have been produced during calendar year 2010. Portfolio images may have been produced anytime during the student’s academic career (with the exception that images submitted in previous PIEA competitions are ineligible).

Any faculty or staff administering, teaching, or assisting with a school-sponsored photographic/imaging activity is eligible to compete in the Faculty/Staff category. Single images and portfolio images may have been produced at any time during the faculty or staff member’s teaching career (with the exception that images submitted in previous PIEA competitions are ineligible). Faculty-produced digitally constructed photographic images should be entered in the Faculty/Staff Single Image category. Faculty portfolios may contain digitally constructed photographic images.
