Title: Of Peace Caption: A man has a lunchtime nap along the Bandstand Promenade on the western coast of Mumbai, India. Image Description: A photo of a man who is dressed in tan pants, a tan long sleeve shirt, and blue flip-flops and lays horizontally sleeping on the ledge of a bridge, with a bright blue sky behind him.

Anthropologists work all around the world, in the most diverse range of careers imaginable, and we want to highlight them. Photographs can be anything you believe relates to your work. Show us your work in the field, lab, or classroom. We encourage applicants to submit up to three photos of their work for a chance to be featured in the 2023 AAA Calendar.

Anthropology Photo Contest Guidelines:

Applicants must be a current member of the AAA at the time of submission.
Photo contestants may submit up to three photos of their work.
For each photo please include a title, caption that provides information on when, where, why the photographer made the photo, how the image relates to the field of anthropology, and an image description that provides access to blind and low-vision viewers, as well as anyone who needs support processing visuals.
Photographs must be your own work.
Selected photos for the calendar will be printed at 11×8 dimensions, photos that are not in landscape orientation will be cropped to fit the 11×8 layout. Images need to be high-quality resolution, minimum 300 pixels per inch.
To be considered for the AAA Calendar, photos must be saved and uploaded correctly. The photos need to be first name underscore last name underscore photo number (1, 2, or 3). For example: FirstName_LastName_Photo1
The photographs may not portray any nudity or illicit activity.

You are more than welcome to submit up to three photographs, but only one will potentially be featured in the calendar.

After the applications close and the photos are processed, the AAA will put all qualifying entries on the AAA Facebook page for a vote. Voting is counted by any acknowledgment of the photo on the AAA Facebook page such as a “like” or “love” on the image. Please find the AAA Facebook page.

The votes will be tallied, and the top 12 photos, from 12 different AAA members, will be featured in the 2023 AAA calendar, which will be distributed at the AAA Annual Meeting.

On a cloudy morning in Galway, Ireland, llamas graze in a farmer's pasture.

Title: Llamas in Ireland

Caption: Llamas were first introduced to Ireland in 2001, and like this herd in Galway, are raised for their Alpaca wool. As of 2020, there were 12 certified Alpaca herds in all of Ireland.

Image Description: A white, fluffy llama stands to the right of a large, green pasture, staring forward. Eight other white llamas stand, walk, and graze, scattered across back of the field, which ends in a line of rocks and tall, yellow grasses. A distant body of water spans the horizon behind the field, with a gray, cloudy sky above.
