Amateurs, students, and professional photographers alike can compete for a new international photography award celebrating an independent America.
The NTD International Photography Competition (NIPC) 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 award’s winners will receive $2,000 in cash or $2,000 worth of photography products and equipment.
Now in its fifth iteration, the NIPC invites photographers around the world to enter uplifting images of “beautiful moments.” Amateur and professional photographers who enter two competition categories, Social Relations & Humanity and Nature & Landscape, will compete for the $5,000 Gold Award or $5,000 worth of photography products and equipment.
The NIPC, hosted by The Epoch Times’ sister media outlet NTD, is one in a series of international art and cultural competitions that celebrate time-honored traditions. The competition’s mission is to “preserve traditional aesthetics,” so each entry must be free of digital editing. However, photographers can adjust the brightness, sharpness, and color balance of their images.
The NIPC focuses on photographers’ technical skills and manual dexterity, including hand-eye skills when setting up a shot. It invites entrants to submit luminous, naturalistic images that depict beauty and kindness.
Photographers have until July 31, 2025, to register.
