Tokyo Photography Competition 2017

Description

There are numerous competitions whose aim is to discover new photographic talent from around the globe, but many of these opportunities are often beyond the reach of those who do not speak a certain language or have a deep understanding of a particular culture. This has often been the case for Japanese photographers trying to enter foreign markets and for foreigners wanting to present and exhibit their work in Japan.

A select group of 9 internationally renowned jurors from around the world will review all the images submitted and nominate 8 talented photographers whose work will be exhibited as part of a traveling exhibition in Tokyo (Japan) before heading out to New York (USA) and Sydney (Australia)!

Theme: Borders

The winners will be showcased as a traveling group exhibition
and presented in the following cities:
New York, USA: United Photo Industries Gallery, fall 2017
Sydney, AU: Head On Photo Festival, Spring 2018
Tokyo, JP: Tokyo International Photography Festival, Summer 20188
