Our purpose is to raise the level of conversation around photography worldwide, through a year-round programme of exhibitions, awards and competitions. Our mission is to support photographers around the world, to celebrate and show their work, as well as nurture the medium of photography on a global scale. Our value lies in the integrity of our expertise, our years of experience and the strength of our relationships with both individual photographers as well as our industry-leading partners around the world. The World Photography Organisation is a global platform for photography which activates initiatives, in over 50 countries each year, that help support artists working in the medium of photography. From international exhibition tours, online competitions, and prestigious awards to collaborative projects and high-end art fairs, we embrace photography in all its forms, and are dedicated to the success of our community of artists and photographers.
