CELEBRATION

OF YOUNG PHOTOGRAPHERS

GRADES 6-12

The Summit by Rhyer Simon. 2022 CYP Dylan’s Wings Photography Middle School Award recipient

ASAP!’s thirteenth annual Celebration of Young Photographers invites students in grades 6-12 to submit their photographs for a chance to participate in a juried art exhibition. A panel of professional photographers selects 60 photos for this public exhibition, recognizing the top four for their outstanding and thoughtful work based on the yearly theme. These top selected photographers receive the Dylan’s Wings Photography Award along with a special prize.

This year’s Celebration of Young Photographers theme is Curiosity. Curiosity is the desire to push open a door to something new. It’s the spark that drives innovation and ignites discovery. How does curiosity play a role in your life, and how will you represent that through the photographic medium?
