THANK YOU, TO EVERYONE WHO ENTERED THIS YEAR!

WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED EARLY THIS FALL.

We have big prizes, big exposure, big recognition for winners this year. Now is the time to go big and enter your best image(s) in our annual contest.

We have spent the better part of a year unearthing the best cast of judges on the planet for our 2015 Awards contest. Judges include agency producers, art buyers, photo editors, creative directors, designers, artist representatives and more. These creative professionals work everyday hiring and producing award-winning photography assignments. This is a big opportunity to get your work seen by the brightest stars in the buying community.

We made big changes to this year’s contest: new categories, new judges, and an all-new image submission process. APA members can login with their APA credentials, upload images and quickly checkout.
