Amateur, student, and professional photographers alike can compete for a new international award celebrating an independent America.
The NTD International Photography Competition has just announced a special award titled “Best Work Commemorating the 250th Anniversary of American Independence.” It also announced two new award categories: Best Chinese Photographer and Best Sports Photography. Each of these awards’ winners will receive $2,000 in cash or in photography products and equipment.
Now in its fifth iteration, the competition invites photographers from around the world to enter uplifting images of “beautiful moments” or naturalistic images that depict beauty and kindness.
Hosted by The Epoch Times’ sister outlet NTD, the competition is part of a series that celebrates time-honored traditions in art and culture. Its mission is to “preserve traditional aesthetics,” so each entry must be free of digital editing. However, photographers may adjust the brightness, sharpness, and color balance of their images.
Photographers of all skill levels may enter two competition categories—Social Relations and Humanity, and Nature and Landscape—competing for the Gold Award, worth $5,000. The judges will focus on photographers’ technical skills and manual dexterity, including hand-eye skills when setting up a shot.
Photographers have until July 31, 2025, to register.
