CHANGE
Since our inception in 2009, KL Photoawards has been showcasing new and emerging photographers from many countries, We are now changing. We see change as something positive and growing. We have now become KL International Photoawards as we begin to attract a significant number of entries from many countries across the globe. This inevitably raises the standard of submissions and benefitting all photographers through a greater variety of photographic representations, concepts and creativity.
REACHING OUT
Since 2009, we have been garnering an increased following and interest throughout the world. In 2010, the finalists exhibition traveled from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore and London. We hope to continue with these destinations in 2011.
We are now Calling For Entries to the 3rd Annual KL International Photoawards 2011 for Contemporary Portrait Photography. Entries are sought for Individual and Story categories. As before, entrants may submit entries as Individual portraits or as a Story series of up to 10 images.
A. PORTRAIT INDIVIDUAL CATEGORY - OPEN
Stand-alone Portraits must astound, probe, reflect and question the relationship between the sitter and the viewer.We seek strong images that are beyond superficial 'aesthetics' or cliché, portraits that provoke the mind and challenge the eye.This is an open theme of photography concerned with portraying people with emphasis on their identity as individuals in relation to their surroundings, status and humanity.
B. PORTRAIT STORY CATEGORY- THEMED
For 2011, we are proud to announce our collaboration with Anti-Slavery International to present a Themed Story Category, centered on the concept of INTERCULTURALISM. The interpretation of the theme is wide open, and your image style and approach may be derived from photo-journalism, fine art or even conceptual genres in photography.
All Story entries must be accompanied by a 250-300 word narrative to highlight your submission. Remember, this is a portrait awards, so keep it tight.
Interculturalism is a general concept which covers a variety of current issues plaguing societies in our world today eg. family tension, inter-religious marriages, racial clashes, conflict, intolerance, refugees, hate-crime, ethnic divisions, worst forms of child labour, human-trafficking, forced prostitution, and all modern forms of slavery. We seek varying perspectives from the eyes of photographers to highlight these issues that are apparent due to increasing migration and globalisation.
PRIZES
The top three winners from each category will receive USD$3,000, USD$1,500 and USD$750 respectively plus a specially designed trophy and Pacsafe products. In addition, the Anti-Slavery International Prize for the Most Promising Photographer Under 25 in the Portrait Story category shall receive an Olympus XZ-1 digital camera, courtesy of Olympus Cameras UK.
