2026 International Portfolio Competition

Located in Chelsea, Soho Photo is York City’s longest-running, member run photography gallery. We will be  awarding solo shows to three finalists. Members of Soho Photo Gallery's Portfolio Review Committee will jury the competition. The committee has reviewed thousands of portfolios since the gallery's beginning in 1971. The jurors will make their initial selections based on digital submissions. There will be ten semi-finalists. The final three selections will be based on prints.

Call for Entry will accept the application fee of $60 and provide specs and information for downloading your files. 
 

One portfolio per photographer. The portfolio should consist of 10-15 compositionally and technically strong images with a consistent theme or topic. The three winning portfolios  must be suitably prepared for gallery presentation or will not be accepted. Maximum height or width (including frame) of exhibited work cannot exceed 48". Packing and delivery instructions will be emailed to winning participants. Work must be wired for hanging.

The competition is open to all photographers 18 years and older excluding members of Soho Photo. No AI generated work will be accepted
