I am re-posting this, as it got buried, and more announcements about the winners were made in the last few days.NANPA WINNERS
The 2016 international NANPA winners are being announced. I'm delighted to have received a couple awards. I know many of us here are also NANPA members and submitted photos, and I 'm sure many won awards as well. The top 250 images, top 100, and other special awards such as "Judge's Choice" awards in each category, will be published in their yearly "Expressions" magazine and sent to various publications looking for photos.
If you all will send me your winners announcement with the links to the photos, i will post them all here in a week or two by name.
Or, alternately, you all can post your wins in this thread.
Thoughts?

Congratulations, Sandy!
To keep things simple, the winners can post their 'wins' to this thread.
Once the first few are added to this thread, I can 'Feature' this topic here in General Discussion so it is easy to find. Does this work for you?

Ok, since no one else has responded, I'll start: I KNOW there are many other winners here on NPN - let's hear from you!.
Several other images made it to the Semi-Finals. Semi-finals are not published.

Congratulations on your multiple wins, Sandy. Especially "Judges Choice". That's major. There were thousands of photos submitted for the NANPA Showcase this year and it is really an honor to be awarded for even one image, much less several.
All the others I entered made the semifinals but not the book.

The NANPA photography contest seems to get more and more competitive every year, all the photos I've seen so far are incredible. I am eagerly looking forward to exploring the new edition of "Expressions" when it is published.
Other winners I see on the list include our (possibly former ) Angela McCain and Ron Bielefeld.
Anyone who wants to purchase a very well-designed and executed Magazine with all the winning images can go here:
I'd strongly encourage NANPA membership - their discount photo equipment insurance alone is enough reason to join, IMO - far outweighs the $100 membership.

Are you going to the NANPA Summit meeting in March? The speaker and program sessions are outstanding.

I find I get a lot of good ideas for images after seeing the hundreds of other exceptional shots.
