The world's greatest photo of the year will win $25,000 in the AGORA Awards 2019
On January 4th the biggest international photography contest will open for submissions. The winner of this year-long contest stands to take away $25,000 for a single image. What's more, anyone from anywhere in the world can participate with their best shots, for free.
Photographers of all levels can participate simply by downloading the free app on the Apple Store or Google Play and can upload as many of their best photos as they like to the contest once it is launched. In the fall of 2019 50 finalists will be announced, after which the AGORA community will vote for their favorite shot to determine who wins.

For this reason the contest will reveal the year's top visual trend, and thus forth every year in the contests to come. Aiming for global photographic democracy, the app values everyone's unique point of view, allowing the international community of millions to participate and later vote for their favorite image. As Octavi Royo, CEO and co-founder, puts it: "What we are doing in AGORA and in the Awards is starting a creative revolution. We believe everyone has the chance to win with their best photo."
