The 2017 exhibition

The NUJ's 1,900 photographer members are at the heart of the union, working at the forefront of photojournalism and videography in the UK, Ireland and beyond. This union is proud of their work, and fights daily on their behalf to let them do their jobs..

As part of this campaign, we want to see your work. We want to see the incredible photographs you have produced in 2015 and 2016, whether published or unpublished.

Why unpublished as well ? We know that great work is being produced that never gets published - rejected because of lack of space, an unwillingness to pay good rates, wanting to use user-generated content instead, or simply down to cutbacks in experienced picture desk staff..

Each member can submit up to four images for consideration - a panel of photographers will then make a selection from both published and unpublished work to showcase the best in contemporary photojournalism.

Rules

1. Entrants must be either full or temporary members of the NUJ, who are up to date with their subscriptions at the date of judging
2. Entrants can enter up to four photographs, taken by themselves. The entrant should either be the copyright holder, or have obtained permission from the copyright holder to enter the competition.
3. Submitted images must not have been manipulated beyond normal darkroom techniques.
4. Photographs should have been taken for editorial use (though not necessarily published), and must have been taken between January 1st 2015 and December 31st 2016
5. Photographs must be saved as a RGB JPEG, with no borders. Images must be as large as possible while fitting into a 15x10" box, and saved at 300dpi.
6. All entries should be made through the online submission process on this website, together with full caption information and the correct filename.
7. The decision of the selection panel is final.
