Inspiration in Denver
at Annual POY Program
Saturday, April 16, 2016
The Denver Post, Denver, Colorado
Debuts "Visions of Excellence" exhibition of POY award-winning photographs
The POYi Education & Awards Program at The Denver Post wrestled with a freak spring snowstorm in Colorado that canceled flights into Denver and hampered attendance. Nonetheless, those who braved the weather enjoyed amazing presentations and the exhibition debut. Our sincere appreciation to all the premier speakers who inspired, educated, and motivated us all. Our sincere thanks to Nikon and The Denver Post that hosted the 73rd annual POi Education & Awards Program on April 16, 2016. The program debuted the 50-print "Visions of Excellence" exhibition of POY award-winning photographs. The event was completely free, without an admission fee, for POY guests plus award winners for POY and the College Photographer of the Year contests. And thanks to Shelby Baseler for these photographs.
