`Professional' or `Enthusiast'
Entrants to the Ilford Orloff Awards have the opportunity to enter as a `professional photographer' or as a `enthusiast photographer'.
Although these Awards are designed to cater for professional photographers, enthusiasts can still enter but will not be eligible to win the Ilford Professional Photographer of the Year award or the Success Legal Business of the Year award.
For the purposes of these Awards, a `professional photographer' is anyone who is eligible to become a member of Pro Photography WA (as detailed below).
Please note: To enter the Awards as a professional photographer, you do not need to apply for membership (although we'd love you to join).
You must be a current Member prior to entering the Orloff Awards to receive Member entry pricing. If you wish to join the Association, it could take up to 2 weeks for your application to be approved and may not be accepted prior to your entry to the Orloff Awards.
