The Documentary Family Awards is excited to add a young photographers category to our Spring 2021 Awards Cycle. Youth submissions are free to enter for anyone 18 and under.
WHAT KINDS OF PHOTOS CAN BE ENTERED?
The official description of the "Young Photographers" category is - "Single photographs that document any aspect of family life from the perspective of a young photographer."
Because this is a documentary awards competition, the photos cannot be posed, staged or directed by the photographer. However, they can be from any year and do not have to be of the photographers own family.
The unifying theme of the Documentary Family Awards is the celebration of “family.” Family in all the different ways it is lived, cherished and experienced.
Young photographers can enter up to 12 photos for free.
