Mobile Photo Awards 2014 – Only Four More Days Left To Enter!
If you haven’t entered the Mobile Photo Awards (MPAs), there are only four more days left to do so. The Mobile Photography Awards is the world’s longest running annual event and international competition promoting mobile phone art and photography. The MPA was founded in 2011 to recognize and celebrate the talent and imagery of the mobile phone photography & art communities. Alongside the annual competition (October-December), the MPA produces themed gallery exhibits with international open calls throughout the year. The MPA Grand Prize winner is awarded $3000 and the winner of the MPA Photo Essay is awarded $500.
Open to all mobile phones and tablets, the MPA has seen a steady increase of Android entries since 2011, when 96% of images submitted were from iPhones. In 2013, the MPA received over 7,000 entries from photographers in nearly 75 countries.
I am so excited to be on the Jury once again for the third year running and can’t wait to view your wonderful images. To find out more, go here.
