Would you like your photographs to be seen by David Bram of Fraction Magazine? How can you get the Curator of Photography at the High Museum of Art to take a look at your portfolio? Maybe you'd like to talk with Brian Ulrich about your latest photo project.

Register today for the ACP 2012 Portfolio Review, your opportunity to meet with highly respected curators, dealers, editors, and agency representatives from across the United States and beyond. The Portfolio Walk (following the review sessions) gives participating photographers the opportunity to present their work to the general public at an evening reception, open to all.

Sponsored in part by Turner Broadcasting and their "Turner Voices" initiative, 17 reviewers and 51 artists will meet on Saturday, October 13th, 2012. Each photographer will meet privately with at least five reviewers for twenty minutes each.

Every year we have many more applicants than available slots, so each application will be evaluated by ACP and a third-party judge to determine if the applicant may participate in the Reviews (it is FREE to apply). Register for the ACP 2012 Portfolio Review today! The cost of the review is only $300, and registration closes July 27th.

Yes, there are other portfolio review events around. Why should you consider ACP's event as a must-do?

- Our event is only one day. It is a long, intense day, but you do not have to take a week out of your life or empty your checking account to have a career-changing moment.
- There will be special events leading up to the reviews (a lecture by Brian Ulrich and a party for reviewers and photographers).
- The day of the reviews, there will be free coffee, food and beverages available to photographers all day long! Really.
- In addition to your regular review sessions, there will be two roving VIPs on-site who will meet with each photographer (an Atlanta-based art consultant and an associate editor for CNN's photo blog)!
- The ACP Portfolio Review really works. Check out the feedback from past participants!
