From the Advertising Photographers of America website (www.apanational.com):
“The APA @ 25 National Photo Competition, Silver to Pixels, provides a great opportunity to showcase the work of talented photographers from across the country. It is a celebration of photography and recognition of the extraordinary transitions in image making processes over the course of APA’s 25 years. The competition goals are to encourage and recognize outstanding work that reflects personal vision as well as technical excellence; to increase market opportunities through vigorous post-competition promotion, and to educate and inspire. In keeping with the APA brand, photographers are encouraged to submit work that reflects forethought and planning, is message driven, (away from generic stock-type images) and without a doubt exemplifies technical excellence.”

When on the APA National website, be sure to check out the RESOURCES section; I encourage all of you to read the paper “Licensing and the Value of Copyright” by Jeff Sedlik. Not to be missed.
