judging

Our panel of judges, which includes our magazine's editors and some incredible photographers, will be assessing images on the following criteria:

• artistic + visual impact
  

• inclusion + representation

• creativity + originality

We encourage photographers from underrepresented communities to enter — we hope to have many folks across the intersections of gender identity, assigned sex, race, class, sexuality, faith, disability, physical appearance + more represented both behind and ahead of the lens! This contest is open for all!
