Educate & Elevate is PPETN’s educational image critique program designed to help photographers strengthen their work through thoughtful, constructive feedback, without the pressure of scoring or live judging. Open to photographers of all skill levels, this program focuses on learning, growth, and preparation, especially for those interested in image competition or professional-level feedback in a supportive environment.

Each session includes pre-recorded video critiques from PPA Jurors-in-Training, delivered after the submission period closes. For full program information, submission rules, policies, and eligibility guidelines, please review the E&E page for details.
