About the Show
The ANPCE was established in 2015 as a way to showcase the talent and artistry of a growing group of photographers and enthusiasts in our region. The popularity of the show attracted talent from across Maryland and its surrounding areas, and eventually, the show was made available to a national audience.
Now in its sixth year, the ANPCE has continued to grow, both with artists who enter the show and those who come to view it year after year. In 2020, the show received more than 800 entries, representing photographers from all corners of the U.S., and the show draws an increasingly diverse array of talent.
This year's competition and exhibition will feature more than 70 photographs in three categories: monochrome (black and white), color, and photography as sculpture, a new category in 2020 which seeks to push the boundaries of what is considered traditional photography practice. The goal of the show is to offer a diverse and wide-ranging look at the world of photography, including street photography, portraiture, landscape and still life, fine art and many other styles and techniques.
The exhibition will run from June 27-July 18, 2020.
