All About Photo Awards 2021 - The Mind's Eye

Our 6th edition of the All About Photo Awards invites photographers from around the world to submit their best work for consideration. In reference to Henri Cartier-Bresson’s photo essay, The Mind’s Eye investigates the depth and thoughts behind each image.

“To take photographs means to recognize – simultaneously and within a fraction of a second – both the fact itself and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that give it meaning. It is putting one’s head, one’s eye and one’s heart on the same axis”.
Henri Cartier-Bresson

Winners will receive $10,000 in cash awards, extensive press coverage and global recognition.
The grand prize is $5,000, the 2nd prize is $2,000, the 3rd prize is $1,500, the 4th prize is $1,000 and the 5th prize is $500!

All winners will have their work published/showcased on Daylighted’s digital traveling exhibition worldwide, All About Photo Winners Gallery and featured in the printed issue of AAP Magazine “Special Edition All About Photo Awards 2021”.

In addition, a selection of entrants of particular merit will be invited to display their portfolio on the website www.all-about-photo.com
