There are 4 judgings throughout the year. These judgings are open judgings and are usually held on a Monday evening at IPPA Headquarters.
The images are then judged by a minimum of 5 judges and images are awarded as follows:
* Below 65
* 65
* Bronze
* Silver
* Gold
* Diamond
At the end of the year when all the 4 judgings have taken place, participants who have scored 4 silvers or higher in a category are asked to submit those images as hard copy prints. These images are referred to as a Portfolio. It is these prints that will be part of the final judging to determine the Irish Professional Photographer of the Year.
