Photo Awards – our final online presentation invitation
Announcing our last installment of Awards presentations
We would like you to invite you to our final show – AWNA Photographic Awards. The awards would have been presented at the AGM, but with 2020 gone kablooey, we needed a new plan.
Thursday, June 25 – 1:30 p.m. Alberta time.

Very Special Guest: Russell Viers
Russell Viers needs almost no introduction. A crowd favourite at many of our symposiums, showing us how to create with Adobe Creative Cloud tools. Always entertaining, always fun. Most recently Russell has been on a photographic journey posting his @kookysroadtrip to Facebook. The man has many, many cameras, many photos, many stories.
Please sign in a few minutes ahead of time so we can get things moving quickly and efficiently.
1) We’re using the platform “Microsoft Teams”. You may join online through your browser, or you may download the Teams meeting software. We’ve tested both. 🙂 You’ll be prompted to select one of those methods when you click the link to the meeting. There’s even an app for your phone too if you prefer.
2) When you log in you’ll have a field to type in your name. Please include your newspaper name too, so other participants will know where you are from.
3) When the meeting begins you’ll have a tool bar near the bottom of the window. From there you can turn on/off your camera and microphone. Please mute your microphone if you are not speaking, it helps avoid background noise.
If you do want to chat beforehand (and you’re more than welcome to!) please try to not be in an echo-y room, we’ve had some sound feedback problems caused by that combined with the slight lag that there always seems to be online.
4) In that same tool bar, locate the Chat button. Feel free to text chat during the presentation – offer your congratulations – send GIFs and emojis. Have fun!
