ASP PHOTOGRAPHIC ARTISTRY AWARD POINT SYSTEM
To achieve the ASP Photographic Artistry Award members must accumulate a minimum of 30 image points from the ASP Images of Distinction (IOD) Round 2 competition, the ASP State Elite Award, the ASP District Medallion Award and the ASP Gold, Silver and Bronze Medallion Awards.  A minimum of 16 points must be from the IOD competition.
 
The Photographic Artistry Award Committee will record the points earned each year, beginning with IOD in 2021. Points from 2021 to 2023 are grandfathered into the old points system. Points from 2024 and going forward will use the following rules.
 
ARTISTRY POINTS FROM IMAGES OF DISTINCTION
Artistry points can be earned in Round 2 of IOD and through the State Elite Award, the ASP District Medallion Award and the ASP Gold, Silver and Bronze Medallion Awards. A member can receive a maximum combined total of 12 points in one year from any of the eligible sources. Only 6 of those 12 points may be from non-IOD sources.
 
IMAGES OF DISTINCTION SCORING
In a given year, an ASP member’s four (4) highest scoring images that receive a score of 80 or higher in the IOD Round 2 competition will be counted toward the points required to achieve the Photographic Medallion.
 
PHOTOGRAPHIC ARTISTRY AWARD POINTS BASED ON IMAGE SCORES
  • 100 = 3 points
  • 90-99 = 2 points
  • 80-89 = 1 point
SCORING FROM OTHER EVENTS
ASP members may also earn points toward the Photographic Artistry Award by receiving the State Elite Award in their Community Partner image competition, by receiving an ASP District Medallion Award or by receiving an ASP Gold, Silver or Bronze Medallion.
