PPI Accreditation Categories

An Accreditation is achieved by submitting 10 images in a chosen category to a PPI International Accreditation Review Board (IARB). The assessment challenges applicants to demonstrate their capability of delivering exceptional quality photography in a chosen category. In the assessment process, the Panel of Judges consider the following criteria: Impact, Creativity, Style, Composition, Presentation, Colour Balance, Centre of Interest, Lighting, Subject Matter, Quality, Technique, and Storytelling. Once the applicant has been approved by the IARB, he/she can use the title of PPI.
