Updated iSBOP form available
There has been a small change in the Illinois Student Best of Photography contest form which should not effect student entires already finished. The new form can be downloaded here.
The change is in the membership/contest fees. Student IPPA membership is now $10 (originally $20). Contest entry is an additional $10 (originally free for student members). This change was made to reduce the cost for out of state students who want to attend the conference in St. Louis but are ineligible to enter the contest because they attend a school outside of Illinois and are not an Illinois native.
That is all.
