Open Photo Contests

CPA is an International Photography contest born with the ambition to stablish itself as one of the references in Nature Photography Contests globally. Its main target is to promote Ecology, respect for Nature and Sustainability. In order to be more effective in achieving this objective, the contest was conceived to take place in combination with a week-long event (Canarian Photo Week) that brings together the Jury and offers workshops to assistants on privileged natural locations.

For this 28th edition of AAP Magazine, we were looking for the heart and soul of a society and its people. Whether photographed in the countryside, or in an urban setting, the images we chose reflect the diversity of the photographers background and approach to street photography. The twenty-five selected photographers have many talents, an eye for detail, light and composition. Thanks to their ability to grasp decisive moments, they allowed us to become a spectator of their wanderings, a curious observer of people's behavior.

For its 6th edition, the Prix Virginia will be presented to the British-Egyptian photographer Laura El-Tantawy during an online ceremony held on Tuesday November 8th 2022

The World Photography Organisation is delighted to announce the acclaimed Japanese photographer Rinko Kawauchi as the Outstanding Contribution to Photography recipient of the Sony World Photography Awards 2023. One of the most important Japanese photographers working today, Kawauchi has achieved international renown for her intimate and luminous images, capturing ephemeral moments of everyday life.

We were looking for work that would celebrate colors, showing its influence, its possibilities, and also its nuances. In the end we chose twenty-five photographers (from 15 different countries and 5 continents!) for their different approach to color photography. Their color palette is diverse: bold, vibrant as well as pastel, or even monochromatic but each time their conscious choice adds to the photograph's esthetic appeal and convey sensory pleasure.

Part of the exclusive online showroom developed by All About Photo, this exhibition is on view for the month of November 2022 and includes twenty photographs from the series 'Felicific Calculus: Technology as a Social Marker of Class, Race, & Economics in Rochester, NY'

CatchLight - a San Francisco, CA-based visual media organization that leverages the power of visual storytelling to inform, connect, and transform communities - is proud to announce the recipients of its 2022 Global Fellowship: Adama Delphine Fawundu, Daro Sulakauri, and Rafael Vilela.

The two winners of the 2022 Leica Oskar Barnack Award (LOBA), the renowned international photo competition that was held for the 42nd time this year, have now been selected. In the main category of the Leica Oskar Barnack Award, it was Kiana Hayeri – born in Iran and brought up in Canada – who convinced the jury of five. Her project, the “Written on the Ice, Left in the Sun” series, was proposed by no less than three nominators.

For this 26th edition of AAP Magazine, we were looking for submissions of works of art that explore composition and form as a fundamental aspect of the photographic aesthetic, be it pure visual formalism or in support of a thematic objective. Understanding shape and form is one of the pillars of photography composition, and it can make even the most common object become a work of art. Geometric, organic, positive or negative, shapes contribute to a photograph’s overall esthetics and vibes.
