Neil Dankoff Photo Competition 500px Edition until 8 November 2021


Deadline: 8 November 2021. Our mission is to create a platform for both amateur and professional photographers to gain recognition and to celebrate the medium of photography on a global scale.

Neil Dankoff is a world renowned fine art photographer with galleries in Canada and the United States. Today, with virtually everyone carrying a camera on them at all times, there has been an interest in photography unlike ever before.

CATEGORIES:
– Landscape – A broad category where subject matter may include mountains, waterfalls, forests, bodies of water, fields and skies.
– People/Portrait – Whether posed or candid, photos that capture an authentic look into people with rich cultural backgrounds, diverse representation, and unique perspectives from around the world
– In The City – Capture the essence of urban life using the architecture and the presence/absence of people. Let street and architecture photography collide.
– Wildlife – Photos documenting animals and other wildlife (plants/flowers) in their natural habitat
– Golden Hour – Golden (or magic) hour is that period after sunrise or before sunset where the light is soft and has a warmer colour temperature than usual. The subject matter can be anything (people, places, things etc..) as long as the lighting from the sun plays a role
– Pandemic Diaries – The world’s response to a global pandemic, whether that’s giving others extra space because you care, wearing a mask, or staying in to stay safe. Photos should reflect a glimpse of our adaptation to this new way of life.
