The 10th edition of the KUALA LUMPUR INTERNATIONAL PHOTOAWARDS is now open for entries for the 2018 installment.
We would like to acknowledge the support we have received from our followers over the years, and we will be awarding a special GRAND PRIZE of $5,000 to one ultimate photographer. This is our highest prize money to be awarded and is in addition to our unique commissioned trophies, extended exposure and printed features by our media partners.
With the intention of recognizing diversity and rewarding effort this edition of KLPA will specifically highlight the importance of good storytelling in photography. This will be reflected within the contemporary portraiture genre where so many emerging photographers are focussing their lens - project work or the photo story.
This year we will emphasize the importance of the photo project and special recognition will be awarded to photographers who push the boundaries of conventionality to produce fresh, imaginative, visually arresting portraits and personally driven and well researched stories.
KLPA2018 is a completely OPEN contest. There is no theme to restrict your creativity, and there are no boundaries to hold you back.
Deadline April 30th, 2018.
DEADLINE EXTENDED TO 5 MAY
