Student Photography Contest

Our Student Photography Contest, which opens April 4th, 2016 (but students can register on our website as early as today) and concludes on June 30, 2016, is intended to engage student photographers and photojournalists in a worldwide community-building project in which they capture acts of kindness and compassion. These images will serve as reminders of all the good that occurs around the world on a daily basis, as well as inspirational devices that promote subsequent acts of kindness from both participants and the public. To that end, the images will be used in our other efforts to promote and inspire kindness, including:

Dispersion through our web and social media platforms
In printed/published materials
Empirical social science research to better understand how exposure to kindness impacts people physiologically, behaviorally and affectively.

Participants will be also eligible to win multiple cash prizes and have their work reviewed by distinguished judging panels in each of our submission categories.

Some of the judges generously donating their time and experience to this contest include:

Documentary Still Images: Ed Kashi (photojournalist and member of VII Photo Agency)
Documentary Film: Elaine Sheldon (documentary filmmaker and 2016 Chicken & Egg Breakthrough Filmmaker Awardee)

PDN The Curator Call for Entries.

The Curator is back, seeking undiscovered fine-art photographers for the next group show at Foley Gallery in New York City.

Launching a fine-art photography career can be a challenge, but PDN has you covered through The Curator, our annual competition that culminates in a group show in New York City.

The Curator will return to Foley Gallery this summer to exhibit the work of six fine-art photographers—last year's opening reception was a huge success, drawing in attendees from fine art and publishing, and receiving online coverage by W magazine and Observer.

We are incredibly proud of last year's winners, who have continued to do amazing things: Frances F. Denny (image pictured) was recently named an emerging photographer to watch in the prestigious PDN's 30; Amy Friend was named a finalist in Poland's Grand Prix Fotofestival 2016 and will her exhibit in June, and Maija Tammi exhibited her "Milky Way" work at the London Art Fair this past January.

In addition to the group show, one grand-prize winner will receive $3,500, and all six photographers will receive a prize package from B&H, Moab Paper and more. Winners will also be published in the August Fine-Art Issue of PDN and in an online gallery on pdnonline.com.

See all the prizes and categories below and learn more at www.pdncuratorawards.com.
