2023 IPHF Open Photography Competition

The 2023 IPHF Open Photography Competition is juried by Joyce Tenneson, a 2021 Hall of Fame inductee. Two-dimensional photographic works in all subjects and disciplines are eligible, including traditional, digital, and photo-based mixed media. Work must be original and never previously exhibited at the International Photography Hall of Fame and Museum. Artwork created primarily from generative A.I. and three-dimensional work are not eligible.

Submission dates are August 15 – September 30, 2023. Entry fee is free for IPHF members for the first three photos, or $35 for non-members, with an additional $10 per image for up to 10 total submissions. Artists must submit 3-10 images in JPEG format, RGB color mode, with either width or height at approximately 1600 pixels while maintaining aspect ratio. The competition is open to artists 18 years of age or older; jurors, employees, and volunteers of the organization are not eligible. One prize per person is allowed.

Awards include 1 Grand Prize Winner ($1,000), 1 First Place Winner ($500), and 2 Second Place Winners ($250 each). Selected works will be included in an online exhibition at iphf.org. All entrants will be notified of acceptance or declination via email. The International Photography Hall of Fame and Museum assumes the right to reproduce any entry for publicity purposes related to this or future exhibitions, but will not sell or grant permission to third parties without expressed written consent of the photographer.
