TIME, the 100-year-old global media brand that reaches a combined audience of over 120 million around the world across its platforms, and the American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP), for over 75 years one of the world’s leading photography organizations with members in 22 countries, have partnered to launch a new global photography competition.
“The Human Element” will showcase portrait photography in all its forms, celebrating the diversity of people and cultures across the planet.
“Great photography has been an integral part of TIME’s identity and journalism since our founding over a hundred years ago. We are thrilled to celebrate that long tradition with this new competition and our partnership with the American Society of Media Photographers,” said TIME Chief Executive Officer Jessica Sibley.
“We are very proud to be partnering with TIME, one of the world’s most respected media organizations, and one with an uncompromising commitment to great photography,” said ASMP CEO James Edmund Datri. “And there is no other competition out there like this one in terms of the exposure it provides—having your work seen by top photo editors at TIME—and the unique and valuable opportunities offered as prizes.”
“We hope photographers of all levels of experience across the globe show us their world through portraits of the people around them, and we look forward to displaying the best of these images on TIME.com,” said Katherine Pomerantz, Director of Photography at TIME.
