ABOUT

OUR FOUNDER

Sarah Sharp

Hi! Welcome to THE POP AWARDS website. Thank you for visiting. I started the POP Awards because I wanted to enter a photography competition that matched my interests and career level at the time.  Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything. So I did the most reasonable thing I could think of and created my own contest!  Within 8 months the POP Awards was born. I did this without a team, and just a dream.  I am a mom, a black woman, a wife, a photographer, an entrepreneur and a dreamer with a passion for photography and empowering women in the creative arts. I believe in women. I believe in you. 

Let's do this thang!

PROFESSIONALS OF PHOTOGRAPHY

It's what's on the inside that counts

The Professionals of Photography Awards is a photography contest and award event that honors outstanding female photographers in local markets.  The photography industry is heavily dominated by men and we want to change that.  Our award is a prestigious honor, that we hope will encourage women to take their photography careers to the next level.   It is never too late to go for your dreams and make them a reality.  The POP Awards is just one step closer to the photography career you have always dreamed of.
