A panel of 37 eminent jurors from across the United States selected the top photographs from over 5,000 total submitted entries at PPA headquarters in Atlanta. Judged against a standard of excellence, 300 images were selected for the Showcase Collection and 1,225 (roughly 24 percent) were selected for the esteemed Imaging Excellence Collection—the best of the best. The Imaging Excellence Collection images will all be published in the much-anticipated ” Excellence Collection” book by Marathon Press.

The level of the award is determined by how many of those four images receive the highest possible honor: acceptance into the PPA Imaging Excellence Collection, which is displayed at photographic exhibitions, conventions, and other photography events. Fabrizio was named a Gold Medalist, meaning that two of his four merited images entered the PPA Imaging Excellence Collection. In 2021, Fabrizio was one of only 112 Gold Medalists.
