More than 4,000 images are submitted annually and judged by a panel of 25 highly respected industry professionals, including photographers, photographers' agents, agency art directors and other commissioners from advertising, design and publications. Competition is tough, standards are high and Gold, Silver or Bronze awards highly sought after by photographers. All other tickets cost £45 plus vat for non-members, £25 plus vat for AOP members and £15 plus vat for AOP Assistant members (maximum two tickets per assistant). Tickets sales are now closed on the website but are still available tonight at the door.

2006 AOP Bursary winner Spencer Murphy's work, entitled "Wastelands," will also be unveiled. The project tackles the problem of waste production and disposal in this country. The AOP Photographers' Awards were launched in 1983 and over the years have grown to become one of the highest accolades within the professional photographic industry.

We also provide information services, education programmes, exhibitions and publications to support these activities. As image-makers respond to globalisation, the AOP is building an effective network of communications with photographers from around the world.
