"The Art of Photography Show is the very best photography competition among
all of the competitions which were represented at the APA-LA panel, by far.
You guys stand alone as being a pure high-end photography exhibition, produced
with excellence and with integrity."

This is the eighth year of this major photographic exhibition.
One of the distinguishing characteristics of this competition and
exhibition is that our judge is always a highly acclaimed museum
curator. It's our view that getting one's photographs exhibited in a
museum is the ultimate goal. Yet, getting exposed to museum curators is
normally very difficult. Our project provides that opportunity.
- Substantial Tangible Benefits
- Intensive marketing and sales plans are underway, resulting in 30,000+ people viewing the Show
- Broad publicity strategy will bring considerable media attention to the art and the artists
- The opening reception will be a world class event, with many buyers/collectors in attendance
- A superb Show Catalog will be printed and given to everyone at all of the special events
- Being selected by Julian Cox is an extremely significant accomplishment, very valuable for one's CV
