YOUR BEST SHOT:
In August 2012 NYC4PA launched its first international call for entry. These past ten years have been quite an adventure. We have sponsored over 50 contests, awarded thousands of dollars in prizes, hosted a myriad of exhibitions and led a wonderful photography trip to Iceland/Greenland.
To honor this milestone, we are sponsoring a Tenth Anniversary, no theme, Call for Entry. It will include, in addition to our regular prizes, a live exhibition of the cash prize winning and juror’s selection images. For this show the size of framed images will be limited to 11x14 (or 14x11).
The exhibition will be held in a gallery in New York City Hell’s Kitchen in October 2022.
Send us your best shots – as with all NYC4PA calls all 2D forms of photography are accepted.

Prepare your images as follows
- JPG files are preferred with the longest side a minimum of 1,280 pixels. Smaller files are fine - you will see your uploaded image as soon as you submit it. If it is clear to you it will be fine for the juror.
- Select unique image names so you can identify images when we send notification. Tea Glass1 Tea Glass 2 can be difficult
- We prefer shorter names
- Filenames with special characters may not load properly
- If you are working in Photoshop, and are using the image size screen, the file size indicated at the top is the size before any compression applied in the save process. Please save the file as a JPG and then look at the file size. It should be perfect.
