The Worldwide Photography Gala Awards organizes the third edition of THE JACOB RIIS AWARD (named after the Danish-American photographer, 1849-1914), benefiting Save the Children. In this edition, both portfolios (minimum of 4 and maximum of 8 images) and single images will be accepted, inviting 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 will be welcome. The Award is open worldwide to all professional and amateur photographers working with digital or traditional photography or combinations of both. There is no theme for this Award.
The Award will consist in a cash prize of $ 2,000. Selected images by the juror will be exhibited in the 3rd WPGA Biennial to be held in the Borges Cultural Center in the fourth quarter of 2013.
As in the 2nd Biennial, exhibited images in the 3rd Biennial will be auctioned benefiting Save the Children.
