Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA) is a professional organization composed of photojournalists and wedding photographers from around the world. They have quarterly competitions and usually there are thousands of entries. They also now have a Artistic Guild which is a perfect fit for me I think. Their first competition I was invited to be a judge and it was really fun. The second one I was able to enter (as I was not judging) and got a 4th place and a 9th place out of over thousand entries. Here are the two images:
