Help Us Find New, Undiscovered Talent!

Each year, NAPCP looks to shine a spotlight on one of our industry’s brightest rising stars. And we need YOU to help us find them. We all know how challenging those first two years of running your own business can be – learning best business practices, juggling marketing, branding, finances, equipment, workflow … all while consistently producing gorgeous portraiture for clients. We love the spirit and tenacity of the future greats in our community, and we are here cheering them on.

To give them a little push in the right direction, NAPCP is honored to host its fourth Best New Emerging Child Photographer Contest! In a few easy steps, you can help us recognize talented newcomers who you find inspiring. Nominate your favorite(s) here on the NAPCP website! Our team will review all nominations and announce the group of semi-finalists to move to the judging process. Then, our esteemed panel of judges will narrow the field to six finalists. Then it’s up to YOU to vote for your favorite finalist! We tally up the votes and spoil the winner.
