Midwest Center for Photography - Midwest Photo Emerge 2025

MWCP is seeking emerging photographers creating fresh and exciting new pictures. We feel strongly about providing this exhibition opportunity to emerging photographers. Professionally preparing a series of work, entering to galleries within the stated guidelines of gallery submissions and through subsequently building an exhibition record is a major and essential aspect of building a career in art photography.

In the year of 2025 we will be featuring 25 photographers for the EMERGE competition. We are looking to give one $200 EMERGE Fellowship Award and exhibition opportunities to emerging photographers. This fellowship opportunity is geared toward photographers looking to launch their art careers through the exposure of exhibition.

Open to all emerging photographers worldwide. All photographic media is welcome.

Selection will be based upon individual images submitted by each artist. A series of theme based images are preferred but not required. A brief artist statement is optional.

Selected artists will have their work featured in the exhibition and online. One recipient will be awarded the $200 EMERGE Fellowship Award, and receive one year artist representation by MWCP online.
