PAPA Master Award

The Masters Award Program is part of PAPA's on-going commitment to the promotion of high standards within the aerial photography business. Points towards the Master Award are accumulated by PAPA members demonstrating exceptional photographic skill, and by actively participating in the PAPA organization.
