Youth Photo Contest

APE Studios invites photographers age 4 to 15 to capture play at selected playgrounds across the country, and we want to see your best shots at Gipson Play Plaza! Winning photos will be featured in APE Studio's inaugural publication on play design and receive a miniature animal sculpture by Richter Spielgeräte, plus a copy of the publication.

Submit your photos by September 29! Winners will be announced by APE Studio on October 2, 2026.

Kids see playgrounds differently. This is their chance to show us.

The play equipment throughout Gipson Play Plaza was custom designed and hand-built by Richter Spielgeräte through their US partners, APE Studio.

APE Studio is a playscape design studio that aims to create spaces that complement the environment and respond to the needs and desires of children, their families, and communities.
