emerging talent awards 2019

Seeking the World’s Top 25 Emerging Photographers.

Now in its sixth year, the LensCulture Emerging Talent Awards offer an unparalleled opportunity for new and exciting voices in photography to gain massive exposure and recognition for their work. We’re searching the globe for early-career photographers who demonstrate great promise and a distinct creative vision; artists and storytellers who are ready to step into the spotlight and those who could be future leaders in our industry.

Our expert jury will select the work of 25 outstanding talents who have not yet received exposure at an international level. There are absolutely no limits on age, location, or genre, so gather your best work together and share your work with us for the opportunity to kickstart your career on the world stage. Now is your time!

We are thrilled to be able to exhibit the winners of this award in Paris alongside Paris Photo this November and everyone who enters a series qualifies for a free professional written review of their submission.
