All individual PSA members are reminded that the PSA Portfolio 
Assessment Committee has already begun to accept portfolios for the 
assessment in June, 2017.  The closing date is
*May 15, 2017*. The assessments will take place June 8-11.  That is less 
than 4 months from now.  The first 100 portfolios received will be 
assessed.   Portfolios must be received and the fee paid by
*May 15*, so please plan ahead.  Addresses for sending portfolios and 
other important information will be provided in the near future on the 
Portfolio pages of the PSA website

who have been given re-submission rights at the January 2017 assessment 
will have the opportunity to do so, if they have done so by the
*May 15, 2017* closing date.

It is essential that you understand all elements of the process. Take 
the time to: (1) carefully review all the available Portfolio Assessment 
information and rules before preparing the portfolio; (2) carefully 
draft a Statement of Intent using no more than 75 words; and (3) 
carefully take and/or select images which you plan to use, and (4) 
prepare an overview image with them in the order you want them 
assessed.   If you are not confident with your English as you prepare a 
Statement of Intent, ask a skilled English speaker who reviews the 
Portfolio Assessment information and rules to help you with the 
Statement of Intent.

Be thoughtful in your approach to development of a portfolio. Take the 
time to reflect and think creatively as you develop a theme and intent.  
If you find a new challenge in this effort, and broaden your 
understanding of photography as you develop a portfolio, whether your 
portfolio is accepted for a distinction or not, we hope you will find 
the time well spent.
