The top advanced-class photographers in each category are recognized with the "Photographer of the Year" award.
The level of competition is intense at the top of the advanced classes, and yet sometimes the top performer is well ahead of the pack.
They deserve credit for their significant accomplishments in photography, and so we honor them here in our Hall of Fame.
