Daily Dose Pick: Shoot Nations

Share:

Shoot Nations provides young, burgeoning photographers from around the world with a platform to display their not-so-naive work through an annual photography competition.

A joint project of interactive-photography org Shoot Experience and children’s charity Plan UK, Shoot Nations showcases a diversity of viewpoints by selecting a different global theme each year — the most recent being “City Living.” The winning photographs are exhibited at a number of galleries, as well as the United Nations in NYC. In the four years since its inception, the competition has received more than 2,500 entries from 100 countries.

Visit the Shoot Nations website, explore the project’s archive of photographs and exhibits, join the mailing list, become a fan on Facebook, watch videos on YouTube, and if you’re in London, check out this year’s exhibition at The Old Truman Brewery through October 10.
