The APA (Advertising Photographers of America) celebrated the opening night of their National Photo Competition and I’m pleased to report a number of PhotoShelter users and friends that won some of the awards this year.

Fellow Eddie Adams alumnus, Tom Sperduto, won the Grand Prize for his image of an ultra marathoner. I had a chance to chat with Tom at the Eddie Adams Workshop this year, and he told me that he wasn’t only photographing the ultras, he was running them too!

Sue Barr took first place in the Lifestyle category — and that lifestyle stuff is hard too shoot! Sue has an awesome PhotoShelter customized site that she blended seamlessly into her own website.

Joel Sartore took second in Lifestyle, which is weird because he has a totally awesome biodiversity gallery on his website.

Amy Peck received a merit award for Fine Art.

Everyone’s favorite ninja photographer, Chase Jarvis, received a merit award for Action.

And of course, the very sexy photo competition was provided by our good friends over at liveBooks.

Congratulations to all the winners!
