It
takes time, passion and obsession to make great work. But you also need
the opportunity to have your work seen in the first place. And since we
at Lens believe only the quality of work should matter — not your
connections or bank account — we are again bringing together 160
talented photographers with 75 top photo editors, publishers, curators,
gallery owners and video producers, for the 7th annual New York
Portfolio Review on March 30 and 31 in New York City.
Applications are now open for the free (as always) review, which is produced by
The New York Times Lens column, the Craig Newmark Graduate School of
Journalism at the City University of New York and United Photo
Industries. Participation is open to anyone over 18 years old, and all
types of photography will be considered. But remember, the deadline is Dec. 10 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time.
Now
a mainstay of photo events in the United States, the review convenes
the photographic community to meet, trade ideas, help each other — and
have fun.
The first session, on Saturday, March 30, will be for photographers 21 and
older. Each participant will receive six private critiques. The second
session, on Sunday, March 31, will be solely for photographers 18 to 27
and will consist of at least four private critiques for each
participant, as well as free workshops on how to best present, promote
and publish photographs. We will screen all applicants and choose 100
participants for Saturday and 60 for Sunday.

Please note: Photographers
who attended last year’s review are not eligible to apply. Those who
attended once in previous years can apply for this year’s review, but
they must submit new work. Those who have already attended the review
twice cannot apply.
Once
photographers are selected, they will submit their top choices for
reviewers of their work. We will match participants with as many of
those reviewers as possible.
