This year’s Photo Review International Photography Competition will be juried by noted critic, curator, and author Lyle Rexer. The Photo Review Competition enables thousands of people across the country to see the accepted work in our 2019 competition issue and on our website. Also, the prize-winning photographers will be chosen for an exhibition at the photography gallery of The University of the Arts, Philadelphia.
Because their work was seen in The Photo Review, past winners have been given one-person exhibitions, have had their work reproduced in other leading photography magazines, and have sold their work to collectors throughout the country.
An entry fee of $35 for up to three images, and $8 for each additional image, entitles all entrants to a copy of the full-color catalogue. In addition, all entrants may subscribe to The Photo Review for $36, a 20% discount. (Higher rates apply for non-US subscribers.)
All entries will be registered through Smarter Entry. Digital images can be uploaded using Smarter Entry here.
All entries must be received by May 31, 2019.
