Preliminary judging will be done by a panel of EP Board Members including
Pulitzer Prize winner Brian Smith. Finalists’ entries will be judged by David Griffin, visuals editor at The Washington Post and former director of photography at National Geographic; Molly Roberts, chief photography editor at Smithsonian Magazine and other judges still to be named.
In October, 2012, Editorial Photographers [EP] merged into American Photographic Artists [APA] to become the first National Chapter of APA, called
APA/EP. Brian Smith, President of EP, said, "For the past decade, EP has enjoyed partnering with APA on photography advocacy issues affecting the photo industry. Through that partnership, we have come to realize that combining the strengths of both organizations would benefit all our members. We look forward to a bright future together."
The merger of Editorial Photographers (EP) into American Photographic Artists (APA) brings a stronger voice to the photography industry and enhances the education and advocacy missions of each.
