Join the Exciting "24 in '24 ISAP Challenge"
Are you ready to challenge yourself in 2024? And have the chance to win a free ISAP membership for 2025? Then join us in this fun and exciting new opportunity. Twice every month (on the 1st and 15th), we will announce a new photographic challenge designed to push your boundaries, enhance your skills, and expand your repertoire.
Here's How It Works: Once we’ve announced the challenge, you will have until the next challenge is announced to photograph and post your best shot. You must photograph specifically for each challenge (no diving into your archives!). And then all you have to do is post your most captivating image in the ISAP Facebook group using the challenge hashtag (revealed at the time of the challenge - see below).
Winning Rewards: At the end of each challenge period, all participants' names will be entered into a virtual "hat." Drumroll, please! At the culmination of the year, a name will be drawn, and the lucky winner will receive a complimentary 2025 ISAP membership.
The More You Participate, the Better Your Chances: You can increase your chances of winning by entering the challenges throughout the year. Your name goes into the hat for every challenge you enter, e.g., enter all challenges and you’ll have 24 chances to win a free 2025 ISAP membership. The challenges are designed to get you to think more creatively as well as improve your photographic skills, so everyone who enters is a winner! Note: a minimum of five entries are required to be eligible to win.
