The AOP Students Awards were established in 1981, to recognise and highlight emerging photographic talent which existed in further education institutions across the UK. Many of the AOP Students Awards winners go on to become winners in the AOP Assistants Awards, and then even the AOP Photographers Awards, as we pride ourselves on nurturing talented photographers throughout their career.
AOP Student members receive a discounted entry fee and those selected for the final exhibition not only get their images shown in the final exhibition, but also feature in The Awards books.
