We’re excited… The 2021 Exposed DC Photography Contest is here and open for entries through January 27. Residents of the D.C. metropolitan area: we invite you to submit the best images you’ve taken that showcase your personal experience living and working in our nation’s capital.
Don’t wait. Enter here.
Winners will be announced in February, and we’ll host a virtual happy hour to celebrate and commemorate our 15th annual contest and show–can you believe it?
The 2021 Exposed DC Photography Show will feature the winners of this year’s contest. Additionally, we have invited five distinguished local photographers and creatives to serve as special judges. They will study all of the winning images, and each judge will choose one image to receive a Best in Show award, which comes with a $100 cash prize.
We are happy and honored to announce the special judges of this year’s show.
