Description

The Technical Image Press Association (TIPA), a nonprofit based in Madrid, Spain, is launching its first international photo contest on the theme of “One World.” TIPA’s contest aims to help photographers showcase their work to an international community of publishers, agencies and galleries that are always on the lookout for new talented artists.

Eligibility

There are two categories in the ONE WORLD photo contest and both professional and amateur photographers are eligible to enter.
Participants may only submit their photograph(s) in one of the two categories as listed below:

  • Amateur Category. In this category participants may enter 1, 2 or 3 photographs portraying the ONE WORLD theme. Photographs will be judged individually, and only one image will be considered for the contest.
  • Professional Category. In this category participants must enter a series of three photographs that visually tells a story that incorporates and represents the ONE WORLD theme of the contest. The photographs submitted should encapsulate a coherent body of work that will be judged as a portfolio.

It is up to each participant to choose whether they consider themselves a professional or an amateur. There are bound to be intermediate situations where artists have two jobs, photography students who may be future professionals, retirees who were professionals. In choosing the category in which you wish to compete, you take the responsibility for your choices about your status. And if you win, this status will inevitably be brought to the attention of everyone. Hence you need to think carefully, if you hesitate between the category “pro” and “amateur”.
