The Competition
THE APA AWARDS 2011 NATIONAL PHOTO COMPETITION open to both APA members and non-members, provides a great opportunity to showcase the work of talented photographers from across the country and world. It is a celebration of photography and recognition of extraordinary image making. The competition goals are:

In keeping with the APA brand, photographers are encouraged to submit work that reflects forethought and planning, is message driven (away from generic images), and without a doubt, exemplifies technical excellence.
