ExhibitionAPA LA is pleased to announce the thirteenth annual OFF THE CLOCK curated photo competition. OFF THE CLOCK is the pre-eminent opportunity to present your inspired personal photography to the world. Each year APA LA invites a well-respected, influential visionary from the international photo community to contribute their talent towards curating this prestigious exhibition. This year we are honored that George Kocis, Director and Partner at Staley-Wise Gallery, has accepted our invitation to apply his unique vision in carefully selecting his top one hundred images from all submissions. And this year, as an added incentive, Mr. Kocis will also select three images as Best In Show!
Exceptional Exposure
Once our curator has chosen his 100 favorite images, the winners' work begins to gain exceptional exposure through our beautifully printed and PDF catalog, which will be sent to each winner and key influencers in the advertising, corporate, and fine-art sectors. The winners’ images will also gain exposure through our online gallery and artist features on our social media and web platforms. Through the APA global network, your finest personal work will be available for viewing by thousands of potential clients, gallerists, and curators worldwide.
Plus - We will gather for our annual gala opening reception to celebrate all the winners with special invitations sent to top creatives in the Southern California region. Further details to follow.
In addition, each of the three Best in Show winners will be awarded one twenty-minute portfolio review session at APA LA’s virtual Fall Portfolio Review – an invaluable opportunity to meet and discuss your work with a top industry professional, creative director, art director, or art producer. These are professionals on the front lines of hiring photographers.
