In association with Canon, we are delighted to be offering UK based photographers aged 30 and under the chance to win £4000 to spend on Canon kit and be published in AP Magazine and on our social platforms. The winner will be presented with the Emerging Talent Award at our glittering AP Awards 2024 ceremony in London. See all entry details below!
At this year’s AP Awards, for the first time we presented the Student Photographer of the Year award, won by Cambridge School of Art graduate Aliz Kovacs-Zoldi for her project, The Journey Within (above). Which you can read more about here and watch the full interview following the awards on our Youtube. This year, the award has been renamed and expanded to the ‘Emerging Photographer Award’ for photographers aged 30 or under. Offering young people and young adults the chance to have their work seen by a panel of esteemed photographers – to be confirmed – and have their work published. Plus, of course, be in the running to win a massive £4000 prize to spend with Canon.
For this competition we are asking photographers to share a portfolio of work. There is no theme for the portfolios so this is up to the photographers to submit a project of their choosing, and is open to all genres. Portfolios can be narrative or story-led, or simply a collection of your best photos (e.g. commercial based projects). Be sure to read our guide to creating a successful portfolio before you enter.
