KLPA are proud to announce the Call for Entries to the 11th instalment of Kuala Lumpur International Photoawards 2019 for Portrait Photography.
Following on from a memorable 10th instalment, this year are focussing our attention on the many talented photographers around the world who are photojournalists or involved in photo-documentary projects, making and telling visual stories with their committed skills. The 2019 theme ‘UNYIELDING GAZE ~ Portraits in Photojournalism’ in the THEME Category will seek single-image portraits taken by journalists and documentary photographers in their pursuit of factual news events and socially engaged photo-projects. Special emphasis will also be given to photographers who push the boundaries of conventionality, to producing imaginative, fresh visually arresting portraits and personally driven and well-researched stories. An OPEN category will also be available to photographers who may wish to submit portraits from any creative genres or styles, highlighting their individuality and personal visions.
