“This year we’ve included a gender and POC (person-of-color) breakdown of the juries because we believe that experience shapes the perception of photos and the reality that they depict,” says PhotoShelter Co-founder and Chairman Allen Murabayashi.

Featuring World Press Photo, the Sony World Photography Awards, Red Bull Illume, the Nikon Small World Photomicrography Contest, PDN Photo Annual, NPPA Best of Photojournalism, the Audubon Photography Awards, Aperture Portfolio Prize, the APA Awards and Px3.

All 28 photo contest recommendations are based on four main criteria:

  • Entry fees
  • Prizes
  • Submission rights
