Call for Entries: Wellcome Photography Prize 2021

 

 

 

 

The Wellcome Photography Prize 2021 will award £26,000 to photographers covering three of the most crucial health issues of this century: Managing Mental Health, Fighting Infections, Health in a Heating World. Professional, amateur, and student photographers around the world may submit single images or series of images for free through January 18th, 2021. “Winning the Wellcome Photography Prize has been one of the most defining moments of my career to date,” the 2019 Wellcome Photography Prize winner Erin Lefevre says. “The prize helped to financially support me during a very crucial time in my career, and after winning the prize, my work was introduced to a brand new international audience. “Photography has the power to touch people’s hearts and promote awareness in a way that no other medium can. When covering stories related to health, human rights, politics, etc., it’s extremely important to have organizations like Wellcome that genuinely want to support photographers who are doing this kind of work for the right reasons.” As part of this year’s awards, Wellcome, one of the world’s leading researched-based charities, will offer £10,000 each to one series and single image winner, with £1,000 going to six nominees across the three categories. The competition will culminate in an awards ceremony and exhibition in London, accompanied by international press coverage.

It’s an incorporation of landscape, environmental portrait, wildlife, street photography, and storytelling, all rolled into one. And because travel photographers are naturally wandering souls, we strive to document the world around us in its purest form. And share stories! During this travel and storytelling seminar, we will discuss how to build a photograph with our composition while being sure we know our cameras settings, as well as understanding our location, and how to show stories within our travel photographs. Time to think outside of the box and get creative!   Register       January 21st at 6pm CT Up Close with My Macro with Jillian Bell   Focusing on Tamron's SP 90mm F/2.8 Di VC USD 1:1 Macro, Jillian will dive into its technology and what they mean in an everyday setting.

There is a whole beautiful world out there to photograph at night.
