Now PhotoVoice has teamed up with Professional Photography to promote an exciting photography competition.
Every two months, photographers worldwide will be invited to submit images based on a theme inspired by PhotoVoice’s projects, past and present.
The winner will have their images featured in the pages of Professional Photography, in PhotoVoice’s quarterly publication Photo Voices, and on PhotoVoice’s website, as well as receiving a small cash prize. All winning images will be showcased at an exhibition in 2017.
