New York, NY—PhotoPlus Expo announced its second annual photo contest, titled Perspectives. The contest theme is an international celebration of the human experience.
Photographers are being called to enter their best photos that capture the theme Perspectives in the following categories: portraits, street photography, food photography, architecture and landscapes. Submissions for the competition are now open, and the deadline for entries is September 14, 2017.
Grand prize winners in the professional and amateur categories will each receive a trip to Germany to attend photokina 2018 in Cologne. Moreover, they can opt for a trip to PhotoPlus Expo in New York City in 2017.

It will then travel to photokina (Germany), FHOX (Brazil) and CPPS/Studio of Masters (China).
“Photography is the international language, and we wanted to give photographers at all levels an opportunity to share experiences they’ve had all over the world, through their pictures,” explained Lauren Wendle, vice president and group publisher of PDN, which hosts PhotoPlus Expo. “These shows are world-class photography fairs that bring people together who have one common thread: the love of photography.”
Moreover, several photographic manufacturers will provide hundreds of dollars in prizes to many of the contest winners. This year’s prize sponsors include Fujifilm, OmegaBrandess, Red River Paper, Ikan Corporation, Iris Works, Drobo, PRL Lighting, LaCie and Mini Wing USA.
