Call for Entry: Photo of the Month - May - Self Portrait

Juried by: The Image Flow

We’re excited to announce our Image of the Month photo contest for May: Self Portrait!

Submission is free, and only images uploaded this month are eligible, so keep submitting new photographs. Beyond being featured in our gallery, newsletter, and bragging rights, the winner will receive a 16×20 giclée paper print of their winning image and a $100 TIF Gift Certificate. The moral of the story: upload awesome images every month!

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

Under this month’s theme of Self Portrait, the competition is open to photographers globally.

Photography Competition Theme

Step in front of the lens—this month is all about Self-Portraits. But forget the standard headshot—we want to see you through your own creative vision. Play with light, movement, reflections, or abstraction. Tell a story, hide in plain sight, or make a statement.

Whether it’s raw and real, playful and surreal, or somewhere in between, this is your chance to turn the camera inward. Show us who you are, or who you want to be.

Eligibility

This call is open to all artists worldwide.

All entries must be original works of art and entirely the work of the entrant. Open to photography mediums (film, digital, alternative process, printmaking, digital art) except film/video & mixed media.
