New Beginnings Photography Competition

Lioncourt Gallery presents the New Beginnings Photography Competition, open to all levels of photographers from around the world. The theme is open, but content must be family friendly. This juried competition accepts submissions from December 15, 2023 to April 15, 2024. Jury selection takes place April 16-17, 2024, with notifications on or before April 18, 2024. The gallery opens the week of April 18, 2024.

Entry fee is $30 for up to three photos. Cash awards include $100 for Best of Show Champion and $50 for Reserve Champion. Other top-scoring works will be juried into the gallery, with a select number awarded Honorable Mention titles. Winners and accepted works will be featured in the online gallery. All Champions qualify for the year-end Lioncourt Gallery Invitational, where one artist will be awarded Lioncourt Gallery's Artist of the Year with an additional cash prize.

All images must be in JPG format, minimum 1200 pixels on the longest side, and up to 5MB in file size. Each work must have a title other than "untitled." Works must be original and may not include signatures, borders, digital frames, mats, artist logos, or watermarks. No AI-generated work will be accepted. Minor editing such as filters, cropping, saturation, dodging, burning, and color corrections are permitted. Works previously submitted to or won in past Lioncourt Gallery competitions are eligible if they meet all other criteria. Contact [email protected] with questions.
