About Competition
British Journal of Photography invites submissions to the 4rd edition of Portrait of Britan, the nation’s biggest photography exhibition seen by millions of people country wide, that shows the many faces of modern Britain.
Portrait of Britain is an award-winning nationwide photography exhibition, run by British Journal of Photography in partnership with JCDecaux. The exhibition celebrates the rich tapestry of people that make up Great Britain, by turning their stories into public art.
This is the largest exhibition of contemporary photography ever held, as much a celebration of photography as it is a celebration of British people, calling for pictures that reflect their unique culture and diversity.
The award invites photographers of any level to submit portraits that show the many faces of modern Britain.
