The photographers must select how they wish to display and print their art inside a 16x20 white matte. The size, paper selection, and finish are all up to the photographers discretion. The final artwork is then displayed at a live gallery event at Park Studios in Atlanta, GA, the NAPCP headquarters, and ribbons are given to the top 3 images in the 3 themed categories for that year. Jenni has placed in the Top 100 each year this competition has been held, and her images now hang in her studio in Aurora, CO.
