LensCulture Critics’ Choice Awards put the spotlight on the year’s most talented photographers — maximizing visibility and opportunities for those ready to step onto the global stage and enter international markets. This year’s panel of 20 critics includes photography experts and influencers from world-renowned museums, art galleries, magazines, news media, online platforms, book publishers, and international festivals.
Each of the 20 critics will personally select three photographers with outstanding talent and creative vision — so as many as 60 photographers will be recognized with this year’s honors. Top 10 photographers will be featured in a group exhibition in New York.
If you enter only one photography competition this year, this is the one to consider — it’s a rare opportunity to have your work seen by 20 of the photography world’s leading experts.
Free for one single image entry.
