Photo competitions are one of the best ways for our editorial team to discover new talents from around the world in addition to new work from established photographers. Winning photographers and highly-rated projects are given international visibility through the global reach of our magazine and social media platforms. Many of our award-winning photographers have been discovered by magazine editors, creative directors, curators, gallerists, book publishers, festival directors, photo agencies and more.

We make our calls for entries in 15 languages so we can reach out to photographers all over the world. This worldwide reach attracts the attention of influential experts in the world of photography — people want to serve on our juries to be among the first to see fresh and exciting work.

Here, you too can discover the winners, finalists, juror’s picks, student spotlights plus many of the other highly-rated submissions from each competition. Inspiring, thought-provoking, informative, culturally rich — dig in to discover some great photography from around the globe.
