Sinchi’s inaugural photography competition provide a unique opportunity for visual story tellers around the world to be recognised for their talent and commitment to the preservation of culture and indigenous rights. The aim of the competition is to celebrate the strength and beauty of indigenous culture through visual storytelling.

This can be inspired by many things from activism, relationship to nature, spirituality, community, everyday life to art, music and cultural practice. Participants are invited to submit up to 6 photos with accompanying captions and welcome submissions from both remote and urban indigenous communities. The challenge is for all of us to care enough about what lies outside our own world, so we can recover what is nearly lost…

Our distinguished jury will select an overall competition winner, 3 x runners up and also award an Artistic Merit Award (for the best individual photo). The prizes will be as follows; Overall Winner – 1000 euros / Jimmy Nelson Online Talk or Workshop / Native Agency Portfolio Review / Press Exposure / Featured on Website and Social media / Work shown in Amsterdam Gallery / Prints made available online (subject to agreement of the photographer). Runner Ups – 200 euros / Press Exposure / Featured on Website and Social media / Work shown in Amsterdam Gallery. Artistic Merit – 300 euros / Wayne Quilliam Online Talk or Workshop / Native Portfolio Review / Press Exposure / Featured on Website and Social media / Work shown in Amsterdam Gallery / Prints made available online (subject to agreement of the photographer).
