is an international photography competition that seeks to spotlight the revolutionary and groundbreaking artists of tomorrow's photography world by focusing on them today. We seek to give photographers a leg up into the world of top-notch Fine Arts by providing the opportunity for them to see and be seen at the largest, longest-running Fine Art Photography exposition in the West: photo l.a.
photo l.a.runs every
Januaryin Los Angeles, showcasing photographic-based Fine Art ranging from vintage, to modern, to contemporary, to multimedia. With over 20,000 attendees each year, dozens of programs, lectures and seminars, and over two decades of history, photo l.a. has become a solidified fixture in the world of fine art photography, attracting international art enthusiasts, collectors, galleries, and dealers alike.
Winners will not only earn the opportunity to exhibit their photography in a dedicated showcase at photo l.a., but will also receive several other prizes.
