Beyond the exposure and recognition, GradFoto 2023 offers cash prizes to honour the cream of the crop. The overall winner will walk away with a cool $1,000, while the People’s Choice Award, voted by the public, comes with a sweet $500.

Entry is a breeze, and did we mention it’s absolutely free? Graduating students can dive into the world of GradFoto 2023 by submitting their entries before the January 4th deadline. This is a chance to be part of an exclusive online exhibition that could catapult your artistic journey.

Previous editions, from 2020 to 2022, have spotlighted outstanding photographic work by graduates, connecting them with broader audiences and fostering connections as they embark on their artistic careers. You can relish these past exhibitions online.

This isn’t just a competition; it’s a celebration of the visual narratives that shape our world.
