The Photographers Awards

There are a lot of photography competitions out there for professionals but the AOP Photographers Awards is still regarded as the original and the best - a celebration of exceptional work by the industry’s elite.

This competition is only open to Full & Provisional Photographer Members of the AOP. It is regarded as THE awards competition for professional photographers and being selected for entry into the book and accompanying exhibition is considered one of the highest accolades available to photographers around the world.

AOP Photographer Awards 2011

The AOP Photographers Awards are now in their 28th year and are steadily evolving and moving in parallel with the demands of a progressive and ever-changing industry. This year the AOP made a couple of subtle changes to the awards categories reverting back to more classic genres with the re-introduction of the Non-Commissioned Portrait and the popular Non-commissioned Project categories. Building on last years inclusion of a moving image option, within the Innovation category, whilst looking to reflect the modifications that digital SLRs have made, they decided to create two solely ‘Moving Image’ Categories that generated a great deal of interest from the membership.

Presentation:
This year we presented awards to 17 Best in Categories and 3 impressive ‘Golds’. 250 winning images were selected for the AOP Photographers Awards Book and Exhibition this year, drawn from almost 3,000 images entered by nearly 400 individuals.
