ASP Service Award

The American Society of Photographers Service Award honors those whose generous spirit, tireless dedication, and quiet leadership have helped shape the strength and success of our organization. Earned through the accumulation of service points, this recognition celebrates members who have devoted countless hours volunteering on behalf of ASP and its mission. The black ribbon and distinctive medallion are not only symbols of commitment, but a reflection of the selfless character of the individual who wears them. The Service Award Medallion signifies to both peers and clients a steadfast dedication to excellence, community, and the continued advancement of professional photography. It is encouraged to be worn with pride at photographic events, educational programs, and official presentations. Members who achieve 25 service points receive the Service Award Medallion at our annual Gala Dinner and Awards Ceremony, held in conjunction with PPA’s Imaging USA. Continued contributions are further recognized through Service Bars, awarded for each additional 25 service points earned. These bars are proudly displayed on the medallion’s ribbon, a lasting tribute to ongoing leadership and support within ASP.
