The show provides tangible benefits to artists trying to break into the public eye. This well thought out international exhibition provides value to artists at every turn, from first-rate viewing in the judging process to exhibition and publication opportunities, photo industry connections and monetary awards. Robyn Twomey - "Former Playboy Bunny, Kelley Morgan" Our Judges: One of the distinguishing characteristics of this competition and exhibition is that our judge is always a highly acclaimed museum curator. It's our view that getting one's photographs exhibited in a museum is the ultimate goal. Yet, getting exposed to museum curators is normally very difficult. Our project provides that opportunity. Here is a list of our judges so far: Arthur Ollman - Director of the Museum of Photographic Arts Natasha Egan - Associate Director and Curator at the Museum of Contemporary Photography Neal Benezra - Director of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Charlotte Cotton - Director of Photography at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art Hugh Davies - Director of the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego Tim Wride - Director of Photography at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art Carol McCusker - Curator of Photography at the Museum of Photographic Arts (Note: All titles are as of the time of judging) Our goal is to provide as many tangible benefits as possible for the exhibiting artists. The cash awards, accolades, media coverage and sales revenue that we provide to the artists who are selected are substantial. You can read many testimonials from artists in our previous shows here. Ferit Kuyas - "Restaurant Boats, Jialing River, Chongqing" Show Highlights: $10,000 in award money will be given to artists in the Art of Photography Show 2011. Over 30,000 people will view the Art of Photography Show during the nine week exhibit at the Lyceum gallery. Over 1,500 people will attend the Opening Reception Gala on Saturday August 13th.

We sell a very large percentage of the work, of which the artists receive most of the revenue. We donate 100% of our portion of the art sales revenue to an international charity called The AjA Project.
