One Shot Contest Celebrating the Most Extraordinary Photographers of Our Time

The reFocus Awards invites emerging and established photographers to enter their most exceptional single images into our One Shot Contest. We welcome submissions that celebrate the power within a single photographic image and its ability to captivate viewers, communicate ideas, and serve as both artistic and personal expression.

Photographers may submit works that convey their talent and creativity, from images that stretch the limits of photography to those that explore classic portraiture and figuration. Winners will receive career-enhancing cash prizes, a unique and immersive dedicated digital space to share works on our artist-forward platform, a chance to be featured in the most important contemporary photography publication, and way more.

Whether your goal is to expand the viewer’s worldview, explore the unexpected, or reframe a subject, we want to see your images.
