Equal

A Photography Competition for RPS Women in Photography

 

We are all different. In the West we celebrate individuality.

However, we strive for equality in other areas. We all have an equal vote. We balance equal opportunity in school and the workplace. We balance this against a desire to succeed and strive to achieve our best.

In our Western world, we aim to treat everyone equally, regardless of age, skin colour, gender, sexuality and disability. Yet achieving this goal remains stubbornly just outside our grasp. Despite our intentions, we struggle with issues such as immigration, traditions, and those that are simply different.

'Equal' is the latest challenge from the RPS Women in Photography group. WIP members are invited to submit their image(s) that explore equality in society.

This competition provides RPS Women in Photography members with a unique platform to explore and showcase their creative talent. So, we encourage you to seize the opportunity, grab your camera, and show us how you see 'equal' through your lens!

We look forward to seeing your entries!

The Rules

You can submit up to 4 images with the theme of 'Equal' in any genre, style, technique, etc. Before submitting, please resize your image to 2000px wide. Members can add their own image by clicking on 'Add Photo' (below). When loading the image, please add the title and your name, including your RPS distinction.  

The winner and runners-up will display their images on the RPS Women in Photography website, our publications, and our social media.

Open for entries: 1 July - 21 September 2024

Voting: 22 - 30 September 2024

Prize: An Equal Difference, 1st Edition Hardcover by Gabrielle Motola. Gabrielle has generously donated her book to the group (thank you so much! 👏)
