Annual Photo Contest

2009 5th Annual IAPP Juried Panoramic Photography Contest & Exhibition


The international association of Panoramic Photographers is sponsoring a juried panoramic photography contest and exhibition with cash and product prizes of over $5,000. The contest will be conducted in two phases; in Phase 1 images will be entered by CD in JPEG format for judging. A "Notice of Accepted Image" will be sent via mail to each participant with an accepted image.

In Phase 2, accepted images are then printed and mounted for final judging. Winning images that pass both phases of the judging process will be exhibited at the IAPP convention site in Tucson, AZ in April 2010. Should IAPP be successful in securing additional sites for a traveling exhibition, contest images will be displayed at those locations as well. A new category, GigaPan, will also be accepted.
 
ELIGIBILTY
This contest is open to all amateur and professional photographers and imaging specialists from all parts of the globe. Current membership in IAPP is not required.

In the second phase, the judges will review the actual prints intended for exhibition for quality and conformity to the contest rules. Those images passing the second phase of judging will be exhibited and are eligible for awards. Judges have the discretion to reject non-conforming prints even if they passed the first judging phase.
