Upon submitting an application and a $15 fee, passing a written test, judging
of prints and completion of service points the designation of QPP will be
conferred by the committee. Tests and judging prints are conducted during
the International Convention.
The QPP designation will be placed after the photographer‰s
name when used by IAPP and in its Membership Directory. The Member who
qualifies for the QPP may use this designation on their business stationery,
cards and/or any promotional material.
