2024 AIA Photo Contest

Get ready to showcase your photography skills and make a mark in the 2024 AIA Photography Contest! It’s time to take a trip down memory lane by submitting your best archaeology-themed photos in one of our five categories:

  • Archaeological Landscapes
  • Excavation
  • Field Life
  • Fun Finds
  • Monuments

Submissions will be accepted from August 19 through September 23, so get your cameras ready! Then, from September 24 through October 1, it’s time to come back and vote for your favorites.

The winners in each category will receive a one-year complimentary Supporting Membership in the AIA, granting you access to exclusive events, discounts on AIA publications, and a subscription ARCHAEOLOGY magazine. And that’s not all! The top photos, selected by AIA staff, will be featured in the 2025 AIA Calendar, giving you the chance to showcase your work and become a part of the AIA community.

**Tip: To increase the chance of having one of your photos featured in the 2025 AIA Calendar, we encourage you to submit photos with horizontal orientation and a resolution of 300 dpi or higher.**

Let’s come together and celebrate the beauty of archaeology through stunning photography!

The AIA is dedicated to promoting archaeology to the wider public. Our commitment to public outreach is evident in the hundreds of public events we organize each year including lectures, archaeology fairs, the Annual Meeting, and the emphasis of the Site Preservation Program.
