Call for Work: Deadline 31 May 2018

The Photo Review, a highly acclaimed critical journal of photography, is sponsoring its 34th annual photography competition with a difference. Instead of only installing an exhibit that would be seen by a limited number of people, The Photo Review will reproduce accepted entries in its 2018 competition issue and on its website. Thus, the accepted photographs will be seen by thousands of people all across the world and entrants will have a tangible benefit from the competition.

Also, the prize-winning photographers will be chosen for an exhibition at the photography gallery of The University of the Arts, Philadelphia. And Forrest Old, director of the Red Filter Gallery, will select a photographer for a one-person show at the online gallery. Plus numerous Editor’s Selections will be exhibited in several Photo Review web galleries.

Awards include a $500 purchase prize for inclusion in the Haverford College Photography Collection, one of the largest and most comprehensive college photography collections in the United States, selected by William Earle Williams, of Haverford College; a Mission Workshop Rhake, Weatherproof Laptop Backpack with The Capsule, Padded Camera Insert; a 24"x50' roll of Museo Silver Rag; a $200 gift certificate from Shades of Paper, a leading supplier of inkjet photo paper; a 20"x24" silver gelatin fiber print from Digital Silver Imaging; a ThinkTank Airport Advantage Plus camera bag and a ThinkTank Airport Advantage camera bag; a “The Complete Photographer’s Set” from Tog Tees and several Kodak Mini Shot Instant Print Cameras.

An entry fee of $35 for up to three prints or images and $8 for each additional image entitles all entrants to a copy of the full-color catalogue. In addition, all entrants will be able to subscribe to The Photo Review for $36, a 20% discount. (Higher rates apply for non-US subscribers.)

Museum of Modern Art Curator of Photography Sarah Meister will be the juror for the 2018 Photo Review Photography Competition.
