FINAL DAYS TO ENTER FOR OVER $3000 IN CASH PRIZES
AIBP VISIONARY AWARDS 2026

ENTER TODAY: www.aibpvisionaryawards.com

Compete for recognition, industry honors, and your share of more than $3,000 in cash prizes, the only cash awards offered in a bo***ir-specific image competition.

The AIBP Visionary Awards are an inspirational and educational photography competition open to all professionals, novices, and hobbyists who photograph bo***ir. 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 bo***ir experiences to our clients.

To level the playing field we have built the competition to separate commissioned vs no-commissioned work which eliminates a subconscious bias in judging.

We have assembled a judging panel Cat Ford-Coates, Christina Meerloo-Cusick, Will Cadena, Monica Olvera, Craig Lamere, Zsanee Gaines, Karen Bagley, Lori Unruh Poole, and AIBP President Shawn Black, that are highly qualified to adjudicate this genre.

As well we have included enough subcategories so that images are competing against like images.

We are proud to have the support of our amazing sponsors which are growing daily providing an incredible pool of prizes for our winners. Bay Photo Lab, Seven Rubies, Zno, SlickPic, and Geekoto!

And lastly, we’re incredibly psyched to raise the stakes this year by offering something never before seen in a bo***ir-focused image competition: CASH PRIZES!
