Are you wondering about this year’s Exposed DC photography contest? In light of the exciting news that the DC Public Library is acquiring the Exposed DC Photography Collection, we wanted to let you know that this year we’ll be focusing our efforts on preparing the collection in lieu of the 2025 Exposed DC Photography Contest and Exhibition.
With over 600 photos by nearly 400 photographers documenting life and culture in Washington, D.C. over the past 18 years, we’ve got a lot of work to do! Part of that work is planning an exciting launch event open to all for Spring 2025.
If you’re one of those 400 photographers, please go ahead and get your photos uploaded and licenses signed as soon as possible so we can get everything to its new home in the People’s Archives at the DC Public Library, preserving it for future generations. (And if you are a former winner and haven’t heard from us, drop us a line ASAP so we can include you!)
Stay tuned for more updates and thank you for your support!
