The Tacoma Photographic Society holds an Annual Spring Print Competition which is displayed at the Washington State Fairgrounds during the Spring Fair in Puyallup each April. This competition is open to both members and non-members in the local area. Amateur photographers are invited to compete who derive less than 50% of their income from photos. This competition accepts printed images only. Projected images are not allowed. Prize money and ribbons are awarded to the top 14 place winners: Best of Show, first, second, third, and 10 Awards of Excellence places. Ribbons are also awarded to 10 Honorable Mention and 6 Judges’ Choice winners. Registration can be done online through the TPS website. Registration brochures and information are displayed at numerous local businesses including Robi’s Lakewood Camera, Washington State Fair Office in Puyallup, Speedy One Hour Photo in Tacoma, Glazer’s Camera in Seattle, and Kenmore Camera in Kenmore, WA.
