8th Chelsea International Photography Competition

The Chelsea International Photography Competition is an annual photography contest organized by Agora Gallery that accepts submissions from amateur and professional photographers worldwide. Selected photographers will have their work displayed in a group exhibition in New York’s art district and featured online. The competition accepts digital, analog and phone images of any subject; videos are not allowed. A jury of rotating expert jurors will select the winners and results are expected to be announced on 2026-12-01.

Selected amateur photographers: one photograph displayed in the group exhibition and online display for one year; selected professional photographers: three to five photographs displayed in the group exhibition and online display for one year. Five selected photographers receive a $500 cash prize. Selected work will be printed and mounted for the exhibition and some winners receive one year of exposure on ARTmine.com with an artist statement.

Professional and amateur photographers at any stage of their careers may participate.
