These are portfolios submitted to AP in 2020. AP changed their portfolio this year so you will notice a difference from previous years. Additionally, with COVID-19 campus shutdowns, AP reduced the number of images that needed to be turned in for the Sustained Investigation from 15 to 10 images and from 5 to 3 images for Selected Works.
