The 2016 Photo Review Photography Competition

Publish Date: May 24, 2016

Deadline: May 31, 2016

One of the world’s leading photography curators, Malcolm Daniel, Curator of Photography at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and previously a photography curator for many years at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, will be the juror for the 2016 Photo Review Photography Competition. We are excited to collaborate with Malcolm Daniel for our 32nd annual Competition!

The Photo Review Competition enables thousands of people across the country to see the accepted work in our 2016 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. And Laurence Miller will select one photographer for inclusion in the summer show at the Laurence Miller Gallery, one of New York City’s leading photography galleries for over 30 years. Plus numerous Editor’s Selections will be exhibited in several Photo Review web galleries.

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.

Entry Fee

An entry fee of $35 for up to three prints or images and $8 for each additional image entitles all entrants to a copy of the full-color catalogue. In addition, all entrants will be able to subscribe toThe Photo Review for $36, a 20% discount. (Higher rates apply for non-US subscribers.)
