The 5th Chelsea International Photography Competition

The Chelsea International Photography Competition (CIPC) honors the talents of gifted photographers from around the world. We are inviting photographers, both professional and amateur, to participate in our competition and get the chance to be discovered and promoted professionally in the heart of New York City’s art district. We are one with our photographers as we aim to promote iconic and innovative works of art.

This year’s CIPC will have awards valued at more than $55,000. Selected artists will win the chance to exhibit in Chelsea, New York, and receive numerous PR opportunities. This event also supports career growth and recognition as it provides exposure to the New York art community, and gives the chance for submissions to be reviewed by a distinguished panel of jurors.
