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.

Top 10 photographers will be featured with prints in the group exhibition in New York, and each will receive a $1000 cash grant.
