Picturing the World Family is a call to action from photographers (professional, non-professional & students) to submit a portfolio of images (a coherent photo essay - maximum 5 images) that showcases the landscape of contemporary family lives and relationships as they exist across the World today.

It is an opportunity for each selected photographer to receive recognition and exposure through being published in an International online gallery, and in the Picturing the World Family Portfolio Book Series.

Each portfolio is considered to be a coherent photo essay of 5 images only. There is no limit to the number of portfolio's that may be submitted.They may only be submitted online via the smarter entry submission process.

Prizes
  • First Prize - $1,000
  • Second - $500
  • Third - $250

Three photographers whose portfolio (a photo-essay of 5 images) best demonstrates photographic excellence, and shows they have engaged deeply with the theme of contemporary family lives and relationships (rather than just documenting them or recording them) will be awarded a cash award. There is no set definition of family lives and relationships as we all understand these vary considerably.

In addition to the three photographers awarded a cash award, a further 22 photographers portfolios (photo-essays) will be selected for an online exhibition, and book publication.

Fees and Commissions
First portfolio $35 and subsequent portfolios are $25 each.
