All About Photo Magazine invites dedicated and passionate photographers from all around the world to share their work in their printed edition.
Overview
Each issue is central to a specific theme and provides a gallery of inspiring imagery, focusing on each artist with their own experience to share. With an eye towards beauty, quality and novelty, they strive to promote portfolios that stand out for their unique visual signature style and character. Their goal is to help photographers get the exposure they deserve and to inspire others with ideas, projects and goals to help develop their own photography.
Practical Info
AAP Magazine invites photographers to explore humanity in each of us. From the classic studio portraits to the rise of the selfie, the best portraits give a glimpse into somebody's soul, a connection formed across countries, cultures, and ages. They seek photographs that celebrate the aesthetic and conceptual considerations involved in the creation of the portrait: celebrate diversity, creativity, honesty, and self-expression. Studio portraits, candid street shots, self-portraits, conceptual and fine art all welcome. All genres, capture types, color and B&W, traditional and non-traditional photographic and digital post-production processes are welcome for submission.
The award is open to professional and amateur photographers from all over the world who are invited to send up to 40 images. You can take advantage of the Early Bird Deadline due on 17 April.
1st place winner will receive a cash prize of $500 and will have a full portfolio published in AAP Magazine Volume 57: Portraits; 2nd place winner will receive a cash prize of $300; and 3rd place winner will receive a cash prize of $200. The next twenty-three winners (ranked from 4 to 25) will have their best image(s) or portfolio featured in AAP Magazine Volume 57: Portraits.
