Let's put 2020 behind us and look forward to a new year and to the 13th KLPA2021 Call For Entries. This year, in an effort to be more inclusive and to reach out to the wider global photo communities, everyone may enter one image free to the SINGLE IMAGE OPEN Category. We hope this would enable more photographers to participate in this instalment from all corners of the world.
SENSE OF SELF
How do you define yourself or someone else pictorially? What are the traits and characteristics that make a person who they are? How can you photograph these 'selfs' and make them stand out as an individual in a creative and meaningful way? Portraits can delve deep into a person's psyche and reveal what is superficially masked on the surface.
WHY ENTER?
As one of the top recommended international contests by the World Photography Organisation and Photoshelter, 50 winners and finalists will have their entries printed and exhibited at The Godown KL in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in September 2021. To increase visibility for all our finalists, and be seen by audiences from new and emerging regions, KLPA has again teamed up with several international photography organisations to present the 2021 finalists at screenings events.
KLPA CANON MALAYSIA AWARD 2021
In addition, all Malaysia-based participants who submit to any of the SINGLE IMAGE CATEGORIES will have their entries automatically entered into the KLPA CANON MALAYSIA AWARD. This special award is sponsored by Canon Malaysia to encourage greater local participation in conjunction with the EXPOSURE+ PHOTO event that is planned for September in Kuala Lumpur.
These entries will be separately judged and three winning photographers will be awarded
1st Prize Canon EOS M50 with lens
2nd Prize Canon EOS M200 with lens
3rd Prize Canon G7 X Mark II
A new set of judges have been selected for 2021. More information may be obtained at www.klphotoawards.com
