Soho Photo Gallery initiated its first juried national photo competition in 1995 and it has been an annual event ever since. Each year, the Gallery receives hundreds of entries from photographers all over the United States.

The Soho Photo National Photography Competition has no limits as to subject matter or technique.

Awards will include cash prizes for 1st ($300), 2nd ($200), and 3rd place ($100). There will also be a minimum of two Honorable Mentions and special gifts from our sponsor, Archival Methods.

Our juror this year is Aline Smithson, noted photographer, educator and reviewer.  Smithson founded and writes LENSCRATCH, a daily magazine that celebrates contemporary photographers.

We thank this year’s sponsors, Archival Methods,  and LENSCRATCH for their generous support.
