Jen Bekman, and New York Times Photo Director, Kathy Ryan were amongst the curators of this year's American Photography 25, selecting 351 winning photographs from a record-breaking 10,100 submissions to be included in AP25, a hard cover book that will be distributed internationally in November. In addition, 171 images received two votes, and were chosen for the web gallery, which will be launched in conjunction with the book.

Both the book and the website slideshow feature a wide range of images spanning from an iconic portrait of President Obama taken by Peter Yang, to the intimate scene of a family dinner by Hey, Hot Shot! contender Katrina d'Autremont. We also congratulate JB artist Brad Moore, Hot Shot Bob O'Connor, 20x200 edition-makers Kevin J. Miyazaki and Rachel Papo, and HHS! contender Ryan Monaghan who have been selected for either the book or web gallery!

The slide show will be up for a limited time in preparation for the official launch on November 12th and advance copies AP25 will be available in September at ai-ap.com (with a limited-offer discount). Congratulations to those selected for this year's AP25!
