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.
