Every two months, photographers worldwide will be invited to submit images based on a theme inspired by PhotoVoice’s projects, past and present.
The winner will have their images featured in the pages of Professional Photography, in PhotoVoice’s quarterly publication Photo Voices, and on PhotoVoice’s website, as well as receiving a small cash prize. All winning images will be showcased at an exhibition in 2017.

Beauty And The Banal
Head of photographs Phil Prodger explains how William Eggleston used colour experimentally as the National Portrait Gallery opens the largest display of his portrait photography ever seen.
The Art Of The Incomplete
Amélie Labourdette’s work documents eerie, grey skeletons of unfinished buildings. Her images are a comment on how we inhabit the world, but they’ve also become pieces of art in their own right – and a hint at what might happen to us all in the future.
Something Really Wonderful Is Going On
A seagull is suspended, sunlit and spread-winged against a lowering sky. Men unknown to each other march together as if advancing on an unseen enemy. A woman with polished shoes searches through a large, pale handbag. Young girls in matching dresses look to be fleeing impending disaster. Eamonn Doyle shows us fragments of moments in a world of uncertainty and human frailty, with a unique and potentially devastating voice. A relative newcomer to the world of photobooks and photography galleries, he has become a powerful force in the art photography world since 2012.

Stephen Shore's Non-Peak Moments
It is exactly one week after the election of Donald Trump as the 45th President of the United States of America. And from his New York home, Stephen Shore is looking down his computer at me, via the Skype feed that links us, deliberating over the words to express his reaction to the news. “This is going to be a very slow recovery, I think. All over the world it’s been a shock.” The sprightly, silver-haired Shore, who turns 70 this year, pauses for a moment and then neatly diverts the political headline to a subject still relevant to the discussion but of greater concern to him personally.
Carolina Mizrahi
