INTRODUCING A NEW CATEGORY
The America I Know
New York – November 23, 2016 – The iPhone Photography Awards (IPPAWARDS) announced a new category “The America I Know” for the 2017 Annual Competition.
In collaboration with The Aspen Institute, we’re very happy to announce a new category: The America I Know.
As America grapples with its self-identity, we want to see your understanding of this vast and varied land. Whether you’ve lived in America your whole life or you’ve only seen it in the movies, your unique perspective is requested. Are we healing or hurting, rising or falling, together or divided? What is the America you know, right now?
Open to participants worldwide. Two selected winners will receive a trip to the thirteenth annual Aspen Ideas Festival at the Aspen Institute’s campus in Aspen, Colorado from June 22-July 1, 2017. Three nights of lodging in Aspen and a festival pass will also be included. The 2017 winning entries for all categories will be exhibited during the festival.
