Each submission is thoughtfully reviewed, focusing on the form, beauty, symmetry, novelty, and humor that resonate within NOICE’s community. We aim to highlight work that reflects a commitment to creativity, originality, and the power of visual storytelling, ensuring that the spotlight is on photographs that inspire and engage.
Each submission updates the prize pool in real-time, creating a larger reward for everyone. This system not only motivates participation but also encourages you to spread the word, increasing the prize as the community expands. The dynamic cash prize is more than just a reward—it’s an investment in your craft. Use it to fund your next project, upgrade your gear, or fuel your creative ambitions. This prize is designed to empower your artistic journey.
Each quarter, one outstanding submission is selected from the dynamic prize pool based on how well it aligns with the ethos of NOICE and the impact it has on the community. The winner will be notified via email and announced on our website and social media.
Open to all photographers, worldwide. You can enter up to 15 images.
