The Canon Australian Professional Photography Awards (Canon APPA) represents the very best in Australian Professional Photography. Now in their 32nd year, the Canon Australian Professional Photography Awards recognise the top professional photographers in Australia. The 2008 awards received a record number of entries with an increase in submissions of 45%.
The Canon Australian Professional Photography Awards are open to all Australian and overseas professional photographers. Photographs are individually critiqued and scored via a rigorous peer-review judging process to determine the highest-scoring prints across the different categories of Advertising/Fashion, Editorial, Commercial/Industrial, Illustrative, Portrait, Wedding, Environment, Science & Nature, Landscape, Photo Illustrator and an Open Award. From the 10 category winners, one photographer is chosen as the major winner.
In 2008, the major prize and title of Canon AIPP Australian Professional Photographer of the Year was awarded to Melbourne-based professional photographer, Mercury Megaloudis, of Megagraphics Photography.
