ACCÉDER À LA VERSION FRANCAISE

An international contest celebrating joy through photography

For twenty years, YellowKorner has been guided by a simple belief: beautiful photography deserves to be accessible to everyone. Twenty years of discovering talent, sharing images that captivate, move, and transport, and building a network of 80 galleries around the world, so that everyone can enjoy them.

To celebrate this anniversary, YellowKorner is partnering with Blind Magazine, a leading online media outlet for international photography, to create a special collection by launching a unique contest: LET'S CELEBRATE! for the international community of professional photographers, regardless of their field or style, to create a unique collection centered on joy and celebration in all its forms.

A universal theme open to all photographers

The contest invites photographers from around the world to submit images centered on celebration, joy, festivity, beauty, and love – inspiring, positive images that will lift our spirits :

👉🏻 A celebration, a victory, shared joy, a summer night, a moment of deep contemplation, rediscovered pride, a symbolic object...

These are all moments that give rise to timeless, luminous, colorful, and graphic images – images that are touching, powerful, and inspiring, reflecting the sensibilities of our time.

A major fine-art group exhibition at La Hune Paris and a special YellowKorner collection

This collaborative editorial project, for which 20 photographs will be selected, will result in a major fine-art exhibition at La Hune gallery—an iconic venue in Paris’s art scene—a special collection available at YellowKorner galleries, as well as press coverage, dedicated promotional materials, and international exposure.
