LensCulture Portrait Awards

is an international competition seeking the best portrait photography from all the corners of the world. The competition is

open to everything

. All points of view, all levels of expertise and all ideas of portraiture.

From fine art to spontaneous selfies, from hyper-perfect photoshopped portraits to seductive

(and often fictitious)

social media profile pics, to mobile phone snaps altered with digital nostalgia filters. Some are candid, some are staged, some are outrageous and silly, others are just plain beautiful.

There are two categories:

•

Photo Series

•

Single Image

All entrants must be able to supply high-resolution images suitable for printing in media, and for public exhibition. All photographers

retain full copyrights

for their own work.

You may submit one photo for free

(10 USD for each additional photo)

. 5 single-image entries, judged individually

(not as a series)

: 35 USD. Max 10 photographs, judged as a series: 45 USD.
