The Competition
International Fine Art Photography Award
Celebrating Fine Art Photography and the Discovery of New Talent
Emerging and mid-career photographers from around the world are invited to submit work to the International Fine Art Photography competition—an annual program focused on providing recognition and exposure for talented photographic artists of all ages (18 years and older).
All images will be thoughtfully reviewed by our panel of jurors. Finalists will be selected for exhibition, and winners will receive cash awards as well as exhibition and publication opportunities in the international fine art photography community.
The Awards
The Grand Prix de la Découverte winner (the photographer with the outstanding image of the year) receives an award of $5,000, travel to Paris, and a weekend stay in The City of Light for the awards ceremony.
Category winners receive an award of $1000.
Submissions open May 7, 2012 and close August 15, 2012.
Early bird submission from May 7–July 15, 2012.
