CELEBRATION

OF YOUNG PHOTOGRAPHERS

GRADES 6-12

Ocean Thrill by Annabelle Churyk. 2022 top selected photo.

Join us for our 14th Annual Celebration of Young Photographers! This special exhibition recognizes this year’s top 60 selected photos from students around the state. The top four photographs are revealed, and a middle school and high school photographer receives the 2024 Dylan’s Wings Photography Award presented by Ian Hockley, founder of Dylan’s Wings of Change. In addition, there will be a Viewer’s Choice Award selected by attendees. These awards recognize photographers whose pieces brilliantly embody the 2024 theme of Grace.

ASAP!’s annual Celebration of Young Photographers invites students in grades 6-12 from across Connecticut to submit their photographs for a chance to participate in a juried art exhibition. A panel of professional photographers selects 60 photos for a public gallery show, recognizing the top four photos and their photographers for their outstanding and thoughtful work based on the yearly theme.
