Life is a Stream of Colors
The world around us is an endless flow of hues and shades, a vibrant and dynamic stream of colors that shapes how we perceive and interact with our environment. From the deep, passionate reds to the calming blues and radiant yellows, every moment we experience is touched by color. And in between these primary colors lie a vast spectrum of combinations, blending in ways that create endless possibilities. Black and white, too, play their own pivotal roles, adding contrast, depth, and balance to this palette that surrounds us every day.
We invite you to capture this vivid world in your photography. Whether it's a single, powerful image or a cohesive portfolio that tells a story through the lens of color, we want to see how color influences and defines your work. Perhaps in your images, color is not just an element within the frame, but the very subject itself, a force driving the mood, composition, and meaning of your photographs.
The contest is open to all forms and interpretations of color photography. Whether you are a photojournalist capturing the raw, unfiltered moments of daily life, a street photographer freezing candid scenes filled with energy and emotion, or an artistic photographer creating imaginative and abstract compositions, we want to see your unique perspective. We welcome entries across a broad range of categories: portraiture that brings out the character and soul of your subject; nude photography that highlights the subtle interplay of light and shadow; landscapes that celebrate the natural world in its full, glorious color; wildlife photography that captures creatures in their vibrant habitats; or urban and architectural images that transform buildings and cityscapes into works of art.
No matter your style—be it fashion, fine art, or documentary photography—we encourage you to let color take center stage in your work.

How Are Submissions Judged?
Every submission will be carefully assessed based on three key criteria:
Creativity: How original and inventive is your approach to color in photography?
Originality: Does your work stand out with a unique voice or perspective?
Visual/Emotional Impact: Does your image evoke a strong emotional or visual response from the viewer?
Our panel of judges, composed of experienced professionals in the photography field, will evaluate your images with these factors in mind. We are searching for powerful works that not only demonstrate technical excellence but also resonate on an emotional level.
Winners will be announced on All About Photo’s website and social media platforms, where your work will be celebrated and shared with a global audience.
