The FotoWeek DC Awards

Interviews with photographers

« With digital photography, don’t be afraid to take many shots of just one subject. A special photo usually takes many shots to create, and with digital, the ability to erase the mundane ones is a great advantage. »

FotoWeek DC is pleased to announce that its second annual FotoWeek DC Awards has expanded to an international call for entries of remarkable
imagery, both in single and series form, as well as multimedia pieces that combine the strength of still images with video, sound and graphics.

Entries will be judged in 12 separate categories. Images created via any form of photography will be accepted for consideration (film, digital, cell phone, and alternatives processes), but must be submitted electronically.
