In order to keep these reviews as competitive as possible, all participants are required to submit their websites for acceptance into the reviews. Website reviews will be conducted by an affiliated APA chapter representative and participants will be notified within 24 hours of submitting whether or not they have been accepted. If you were accepted to the review last year, no need for this, go straight to Step 2.
What we are looking for: Criteria for entry includes a working website that properly showcases a tightly edited body of work. The work should demonstrate a clear visual signature that shows what you would like to do as a photographer.
Submit your website to: events@apadc.com at any time for review. There is no application fee.
Upon acceptance, register as soon as your membership allows (i.e. Pro and Leader levels on 9/7.) There are a limited number of attendee slots available.
Registration Period Dates:
After registering, we will contact you to choose your top 5 preferred reviewers the week before the event (we are still confirming reviewers). You will be awarded three, 17-minute time slots. We will do everything we can to accommodate participant’s selections but we cannot guarantee specific reviewers. Choices will be awarded in the order you register.
Registration ends at midnight on October 17th. Final schedules will be sent to attendees by Monday, October 15th at the latest.
We will share tips and strategies leading up to the portfolio reviews as well as updates to our list of reviewers via our social media. Please follow APA DC on social media!
