International 212 Photography Competition 2020 (Win up to €5,000)

 

Entries are now open for The International 212 Photography Competition 2020

Deadline: September 20, 2020

 

Entries for the International 212 Photography Competition 2020 are now open. The 212 Photography Competition is a fully independent body, run by 212 Photography İstanbul and showcasing the best up-and-coming talents of the year from the country, region and around the world.

However, the photography competition is only half of the story. While highlighting the photographer’s art through this event, they also produce an international biannual arts and culture magazine, 212 Magazine. With these two entities hand in hand, funded by 212 Studio, the premier boutique photography and production agency in Istanbul, they aim to be as challenging as they are influential – to provide an inclusive space for ideas and perspectives to mix without prejudice and better interrogate social, artistic and cultural phenomena from the region and around the world.

By choosing to enter the 212 Photography Competition, you gain the benefit of the prestige and international exposure that comes from entering a competition of this scope. The aim is to transform the competition into a cultural and artistic tradition that comes out of Istanbul.

1st Prize winner will receive:

€5,000 paid by direct electronic bank transfer and Certificate, letter of thanks from the 212 Committee, a professional portfolio review of your work, exposure on 212 Magazine.
