We’re calling on visionary photographers to share their work — whether it’s real-life environments or soul-searching portraits, fine art or fantasy, conceptual or straightforward, rough and raw, or poetic and beautiful.
LensCulture celebrates 20 years of discovering photographic talent! Now, we look to the next two decades, seeking visionary artists who are defining photography's future. We're searching for artists who blend profound vision with technical mastery & craft, creating work that speaks to our times and touches eternal human truths.
Submit your work and be recognized as one of the artists shaping the future of the medium, earning a place in our London and New York exhibitions in 2025.
All winning photographers will be exhibited at Photo London 2025, a photography fair which brings together the world's leading galleries, publishers and collectors, as well as an ambitious program of exhibitions, conversations, artist book signings and curated fair events.
Additionally, top winners will have their work showcased at the renowned Leica Gallery in New York City in 2025. This exclusive exhibition offers a unique opportunity for the winning photographers to gain international exposure in one of the world's most vibrant art scenes.
