The 2012 World Open of Photography™ (THE OPEN) is a $50,000US global search to discover the undiscovered, rediscover the established and bring the very best real-life photographers in the world to the forefront.
Today, social media plays a major role in bringing talented photographers into the spotlight. Recently proclaimed “the most networked photo contest in the world” by Agency Access, THE OPEN leverages the power of multiple social platforms to seek out and elevate the profiles of its participating photographers. The public curates the online SOLO competition gallery through voting and sharing, the most-loved artists continually moving to the forefront. Half of the 200 finalists are chosen by the public, and half are chosen by a panel of the sharpest eyes in the business to ensure the very best images are captured.
Following the global online SOLO competition, attention turns to the pinnacle LIVE event on May 31, 2012 in Vancouver, Canada. Six of the world’s best photographers will be flown to Vancouver, Canada to deliver 7-minute choreographed shows of the best work of their careers. The shows are produced on a massive 30’ x 50’ digital screen with concert-level audio. One photographer will be awarded Best of Show. $50,000US is shared between the winners of the SOLO and LIVE competitions.
