The AOP Open Award is an annual competition run by the Association of Photographers, with the aim of championing exquisite imagery. It is open to everyone, both professional and amateur, and as such always draws a collection of diverse and high calibre entries. The Open Award is a popular competition that has been running for 13 years, and each year has attracted approximately 1,500 entries from around the world.
To learn more about Cat’s practice and life after university take a look at her Graduate Vlog. Cat takes us on location in volcanic Iceland, giving us a sneak peak at a menswear fashion project she was working on a few years ago.
