All About PhotoOur 53rd printed issue of AAP Magazine will feature the best projects showcasing the theme 'TRAVELS'.
'My life is shaped by the urgent need to wander and observe, and my camera is my passport.' - Steve McCurry
We are looking for your travel photographs, near and far, to the edge of the earth and to the places perhaps known only to you. Whether you're hauling around a view camera and a tripod or just pulling a mobile phone out of your back pocket, we want to see what you've captured and how you're telling your story.
There's a world out there to explore. Open your eyes to its landscapes, people, cultures - on your doorstep or 10,000 miles away. Expand our horizons!
All genres, capture types, color and B&W, traditional and non-traditional photographic and digital post-production processes are welcome for submission.
Please send us a cohesive body of work or portfolio. Only a unified group of photos will be published in AAP Magazine. Images that were previously published in AAP Magazine cannot be submitted again.
Winners will receive $1,000 in cash awards, their winning image(s) or full portfolio published in AAP Magazine Vol.53, extensive press coverage and global recognition.
All winners will have their work published in the 53rd printed issue of AAP Magazine, a free copy of the magazine and their portfolio showcased in the Winners Gallery of www.all-about-photo.com.
