The deadline for entering the American Photography Open 2023 competition is Aug. 31—and if you glance at a calendar you’ll see that’s very soon. So now’s the time to get your entries in!

As we’ve noted before, the contest is open to photographers at every level, using any types of devices.

All Open winners will receive prizes including selected products and services from our partners Tamron Americas, SanDisk, PhotoShelter, The Photo Closer and Vital Impacts, whose mission is supporting organizations who are protecting people, wildlife and habitats.

The Grand Prize winner will receive $5,000, a Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2 (model A063) for Sony mirrorless cameras ($899 value), a SanDisk 1 TB Extreme Pro Portable SSD, the choice of an 8x10 open edition print with a certificate from Vital Impacts, a PhotoShelter 2 year Pro account and a 2-hour business consultation with The Photo Closer.

The Open finalists will receive a PhotoShelter 1-year standard account and a SanDisk 256GB Extreme Pro SD card.

In addition, Tamron Americas is once again sponsoring our Landscape and Travel category Grand Prize and runners-up winners. (Please note this is open to residents of USA and Canada only.) The Tamron Grand Prize winner will receive a Tamron 35-150mm F2-2.8 Di III VXD (model A058) for Sony mirrorless cameras ($1,899 value). All Tamron entries will also be eligible for the Open prizes, so there is no need to enter twice. You can enter both competitions as many times as you wish. Entering is super easy.
