We’re excited to announce our Photo of the Season Photography Contest!

The Image Flow has conducted our annual Photo of the Month Photography Competition for three years, and we are excited to announce an update. Photo of the Season Photography Competition has the same features that you know and love, with the benefit of additional time to submit. We challenge you to respond to our new prompts with thought-provoking submissions every season. We look forward to seeing your best work!

The Image Flow will evaluate each submission on composition, color, contrast, and overall quality when making the selections. In addition to technical components, we will also consider subject interest, point of view, and whether the image tells a story.

Under the seasonal theme of Worth a Thousand Words, the competition is open to photographers globally.

Photography Competition Theme

This spring, we invite you to explore the theme “Worth a Thousand Words.” We have all heard the phrase “a photograph is worth a thousand words”, and we want you to prove it. We want to see powerful, standalone images that tell a compelling story. Show us images that contain narrative, emotion, and make us think.
