Google Photography Prize: Looking for the photography stars of the future
November 10, 2011
Google+ is only a few months old, but the photography community is already thriving on it. Take a look at the profiles of
Scott Jarvie
,
Thomas Hawk
,
Colby Brown
or
Claire Grigaut
to see just a few of the inspiring photographers on Google+. More than 3.4 billion photos have been uploaded to the platform in the first 100 days.
We’re really excited about this, and think great art deserves great exposure. So we’re teaming up with
Saatchi Gallery
, London for the
Google Photography Prize
, a chance for students around the world to showcase their photos on Google+ and have their work exhibited at a major art institution.
The contest is open to students around the world (some exceptions apply, see
google.com/photographyprize
for more details). From far-away places to up-close faces, there are 10 different
categories
to spark your imagination. And there are some great prizes to be won: 10 finalists chosen by a jury of renowned photographers will show their work at Saatchi Gallery, London for two months in 2012 alongside Out of Focus, a major photography exhibition, and win a trip to London to attend the exhibition opening event with a friend. One winner will go on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to an amazing destination with a professional photography coach.
It’s easy to enter: After you pick a category, upload your photos to Google+ and share them with the world as a public post, then visit the submission form on
google.com/photographyprize
by January 31, 2012 to enter.
Saatchi Gallery, London will share updates on their
Google+ page
for the contest, so add it to your circles if you want to see the great work that’s being submitted.
We can’t wait to see your photos!
Update
Nov 14:
