Gwinnett Technical College’s photography student Starr Petronella placed second at the National SkillsUSA Championships in June earning a national medal in photography.
The 2011 National SkillsUSA Championships showcase the skills of post-secondary students through hands-on competitions in leadership, health occupations, trades/industry and technical contests.
Starr Petronella, a second year commercial photography student from Atlanta, won the silver medal in photography. The judges also chose her image as ‘The Best Picture’ in the Print Competition. In addition to placing second, Starr won the following prizes:
$5,000 scholarship to Art Institute
Nikon D3100
Adobe Software
Starr says ‘it was a memorable experience. The competition is a great way to challenge your skills and knowledge.’ She encourages other students to participate next year ‘because even when you don’t think you have a chance to win, the outcome may be surprising. Don’t give up.’
Starr’s ultimate goal is to have her own studio. Her photography interests are in fashion and would one day like to work with a publication.
PPA Judges and Students, GTC
The 2011 PPA International Print Competition was held June 11th through June 17th. Approximately Thirty of Gwinnett Tech’s Photography students showed up bright and early to volunteer their time. The students worked hard setting up judging rooms and assisting with the sorting of images.
This is the third year PPA has chosen Gwinnett Tech’s Photo Department to host the International Print Competition. It has been an invaluable experience and amazing opportunity for our students to participate in such a great event. For more information on PPA visit their website at www.ppa.com.
Congratulations to Starr Petronella for placing first at Skills USA, North Georgia Tech on Wednesday, March 16. Starr now goes on to compete in the National Skills USA competition in Kansas City. Congratulations, Starr, on a job well done.

The 2010 GTC Commercial Photography Graduates celebrated 2 years of hard work by displaying their photographs at ART Station, a gallery in Stone Mountain Saturday September 11, 2010.

Top honors were given to Damian AhChing for Best Portfolio, 1st Place Gustavo Romero, 2nd Place Brett May, 3rd Place Lisa Cave, 4th Place Janet Kelley, 5th Place Amanda Abercrombie and Deana Washington, Honorable Mention. In addition to the upstairs gallery, the 1st floor gallery of ART Station was used to showcase a juried 3D photograph show created by many of the graduating seniors. The Portfolio Show will be displayed through the end of October and is well worth the trip for the art lovers, the images are gorgeous. This is Mrs. Harkins final and largest graduating Portfolio Show (30 graduates) she will be retiring this year as Program Director of the Commercial Photography Program. We will miss her dearly.
