The Worldwide Photography Gala Awards ( WPGA) open a Juried competition for professional and non professional photographers worldwide: The Robert Cornelius Portrait Award. The theme is Portrait in its broader sense (images may be submitted in eight different categories) and the photographs will be juried by Stephen Perloff. The winning images will be featured in The Photo Review, and published in the 2011 Robert Cornelius Portrait Award Calendar. The Robert Cornelius Portrait Award will consist in a cash prize of US$ 1,000, and the winners of each category will receive a cash prize of US$ 300.
Fifty selected images will be part of an itinerant exhibition during 2011 starting in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and then in Europe and US. As in other contests organized by WPGA who partner with Save the Children, a portion of its revenue (entry fees and sales of works in exhibitions) will be donated to that humanitarian organization.
WPGA invites photographers working in all mediums, styles and schools of thought. Traditional, contemporary, avant-garde, creative and experimental works that include old and new processes, mixed techniques, and challenging personal, emotional or political statements are welcome to The Robert Cornelius Award.
