About MPPA

Established in 1963 and serving as the Michigan chapter of the National Press Photographers Association, MPPA works to build community among amateur and professional press photographers across the state of Michigan. Our annual photo contest and conference celebrates the best of the best visual journalism work from across the state each year, as well as providing scholarships to photojournalism students through an endowment from the Gillette family and the University of Michigan - Stamps School of Art & Design.
