It is with great pleasure and greater pride that we present the winning entries of our second annual American Photo Images of the Year Competition. Many photography contests are held around the world each year, but the Images of the Year Competition is unique in the breadth of photography it showcases, from photojournalism to fine art, from advertising work to student work, from nature photography to wedding photography. The competition represents in the strongest terms American Photo's commitment to finding and publishing the best photography in the world, from professional photographers and amateurs alike.
Winners include Annie Leibovitz in the Commercial Work category, Martin Schoeller in the Portraits/Wedding category and Michael Kamber in Photojournalism.
I won't argue at all with the portrait or commercial winners. That Sopranos image? Classic. Clooney? Same thing. Is it wrong to admit that that is the kind of photography that appeals to me most right now? Naturally the photojournalism winner is stunning but I find I don't have the internal fortitude to experience much work like that these days.
Tokion Magazine and Scion are presenting the King of the Road Photo Contest.
The sun shining off the hood of your car, the countryside passing by, and the scenic panorama of the open road before you... Road trips are full of photo opportunities. TOKION and Scion are giving you a chance to immortalize all your travel shots and share them with your fellow tourists. Submit your digital photography inspired by travel and the road for a chance for your work to be included on Tokion.com or in an upcoming issue of TOKION magazine.Seven outstanding photographs will be selected by our panel of professional photographer judges to be included in a limited edition set of postcards in TOKION magazine. An eighth winning photograph will be selected by an online vote on Tokion.com. All winners will also receive an editorial write up in a future issue of TOKION.
There doesn't appear to be an actual prize other than publication for winning the contest but the rules and rights don't look terribly restrictive so if publication is your goal then it's definitely worth a look.
