The AIBP Visionary Awards ends 31 August 2024

Posted on by

Deadline: 31 August 2024. The AIBP Visionary Awards are an inspirational and educational photography competition open to all professionals, novices, and hobbyists who photograph boudoir. AIBP believes that pushing ourselves through competition helps us excel in the art of photography and in our ability to offer the highest standard of empowering boudoir experiences to our clients. All entrants have the opportunity to work toward the AIBP Artistry Excellence degree as a member of AIBP as well as take home a prize pool worth over $5000.

To level the playing field we have built the competition to separate client (commissioned) vs model/styled (non-commissioned) work which eliminates a subconscious bias in judging. Also we have assembled an incredible judging panel consisting of industry experts that includes Lindsay Adler, Gary Hill, Jacqueline Tobin, Andrew Hiorth, Cate Scaglione, Rhea Berkley Lewis, Hiram Trillo, and Shawn Black that are highly qualified to adjudicate this genre. And lastly we have included enough subcategories so that images are competing against like images. All of the above were issues many photographers in the boudoir genre have experienced in other competitions.
The categories included:
* Women
* Men
* Non-Binary
* Couples
* Maternity
* Editorial
* Black & White
* Outdoor
* Pin Up / Burlesque
* Fine Art Nude / Body Scapes
* AI Creations / Open

This inaugural year’s competition has garnered the support of amazing industry leading sponsors that embrace the boudoir genre as the art form it is. This list of partners are providing an incredible pool of prizes for our winners that continues to grow. 17hats, Floricolor, Pro Prints, Lead Savage, Geekoto, Cheetah Stand, NBP Retouch Tools, Homespun Heart, LensProToGo.com, SlickPic, Sew Trendy Accessories, UAF Photo Lab, and Embrace Presets!
