An ongoing series of virtual themed exhibitions for AZPA members only!
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS
The AZPA Juried Theme Galleries highlight the work of our members. Any current AZPA member at any level of photography experience is eligible to participate.
A number of times this year, a call for entry will be announced with a rotating theme. Members can submit up to three digital images that speak to the theme, which will be juried by a different professional photographer each cycle. The juror will select ONE image from each entrant that best represents the theme. Each of those images will be displayed in an online gallery like this one from our first theme Show Us Your Muse.
In addition, the juror will choose one first-place winner to receive a cash award of $100, plus two more honorable mention recipients that will be featured on our website and social media platforms.

Buzzy Sullivan is a photographer currently based out of Phoenix, Arizona. His work has been exhibited throughout the US and internationally. Sullivan grew up in Montana, which is often known as “The Last Best Place” and is also home to the largest Superfund site in the United States. Montana’s duality of pristine wilderness and toxic remains formed his interest in the human/nature interface.
