Lens Culture has just launched an all-new issue of great international contemporary photography. This mix is as eclectic and diverse as ever, selected to give you hours of enjoyment and inspiration.

But that's not all the good news.

We're thrilled to announce a Call For Entries for Student Photography Awards, which are open to all current photography students, as well as recent graduates since 2008. Twenty-one winners will be featured in Lens Culture (including links to their own websites), and one grand prize winner will be awarded $1,000 cash. Deadline for entries is April 15, so enter today!

Plus two very worthwhile photography workshops in Paris:

Practical Practices for Photographers: 2 days of fine-tuning your business and career strategies, including branding, editing, planning projects, marketing, PR, social networking and more. All designed specifically for photographers. Organized by Marc Prüst and Jim Casper. March 23-24 in Paris.

Fine Art Photography Masterclass with Jeff Cowen and Jim Casper. 5 days of intense creative work for serious photographers who are ready to make a vertical leap in their work. May 23-27 in Paris.

And finally, a very big thank you to everyone who has donated so far to keep Lens Culture humming along. It's never too late to make a contribution, large or small, and we really appreciate your support.

Cheers!
