POPCAP ’14 Call for Contemporary African Photography

Now into its third year, POPCAP '14 welcomes contemporary photographic portfolio submissions for its annual competition.

Five winners will be selected by a panel of eighteen international judges. The winners will all be invited to exhibit their work internationally at five open-air POPCAP exhibitions in Basel, Berlin during the European month of photography and with the Cape Town Month of Photography, LagosPhoto Festival, Addis FotoFest.

Make sure to read the rules of entry.

Submission Guidelines

Photographs must have been taken in an African country or deal with a diaspora of an African country.

Competition emphasis is on image sequences therefore images must work together as a whole. No fashion/advertising/studio work.

Collaborative projects are permitted. Entrants must be sure to note this in the description accompanying their submission.

POPCAP is open to photographers of any age and descent.

Visual narratives between 10 and 25 images.

There is no entry fee.

Submitted images should be a minimum of 2500 pixels in width/height at 72 dpi and be no more than 5 megabytes in size.

Should your work be chosen for exhibition, we will ask you to supply high-resolution files that are suitable for print.

The images remain the property of the author and POPCAP requires a license to use the images in relation to the competition and promotion of the competition only. Photographers will be consulted, should POPCAP wish to use their work in any other context.
