"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 tenth 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. Most photographers feel that having their work exhibited in a museum is the ultimate goal. Yet, getting exposure to museum curators is normally very difficult. This project provides that opportunity.

Substantial Tangible Benefits
Intensive marketing, resulting in thousands of people viewing the Show
Broad publicity strategy brings considerable media attention to the art and the artists
The opening reception is be a world class event, with many buyers/collectors in attendance
A superb Show Catalogue is produced and available at the Opening Reception and other events
Being selected by a major museum curator is an extremely significant accomplishment
