 Celebrating National Identity

Free from membership fees, publication ties and politicised corporate agendas, the American Photography Awards an independent arts-focused platform that seeks to better the world using photography.

We want to grant still photography the same unified, cultural celebration as enjoyed by the other great art forms… After 180 years of American Photography it is long overdue.

Awarding Photographers, ReWarding Charities

Our grass-roots, responsible competition empowers each photographer to help the world, while getting their work the publicity it deserves.

We harness the huge power of imagery to foster great change, with all competition revenue going to one of our US registered charitable causes.
