The Museum will also select three prize-winning images from the show to feature in the Museum magazine, Aloft. Each of the prize-winning photographers will also receive a one year membership to the Museum.

Location

Entries are open to all photographers internationally, but the exhibition is in Seattle, Washington, USA.
