Indiana State Fair 2025 - Volunteers Needed
IPPG is proud to again be a part of the Indiana State Fair in 2025. This will be our 12th year coordinating the State Fair Photography Competition and gallery display.
Each year has been a resounding success and we are looking forward to another group of very talented photographers, both amateur and professional, student and adult, to participate in displaying their photography skills and images.
However, all this can only be accomplished with the help of members of the photography community in our area to step up and volunteer some time. You need not be an IPPG member, everyone with an interest in photography is invited to be a part of this Indiana State Fair tradition. We have a number of dates, times and assignments in which your assistance would be appreciated.
