The most prestigious photo contests and grants. When and how to apply so you don't miss out on the chance to make a name for yourself

Photographs from Ukraine — from the front, frontline cities, evacuations and rear — have long become symbols of truth in times of war. For Ukrainian photographers, participation in international competitions is not only a chance to be heard in the world and talk about the war with their own voice. It is also an opportunity to get funding, support for project development, join global agencies or present your work in leading galleries.

The American Photographers Association (APA) has announced the acceptance of works for the annual APA Awards 2025. The competition is open to photographers from all over the world — from beginners to experienced professionals. This year, the judges will select 46 winners in 15 categories, as well as present the main award — Best of Show. All noted works will be published in the annual print edition of the APA Awards.
