The TINCAN Magazine is a perpetual container for the distribution or storage of culture, art, and its creators.
The TINCAN Magazine Photography Awards nurtures an aspirational community of creators who share important stories and influence the way people think through the global language of imaging.
HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR WORK
One simple and smooth way to submit to our competition is FilmFreeway. It is a platform mostly focused on Film Festivals, but they also accept photography contests, and live events of many genres. The platform is great, both for submitters and event managers and it is also an excellent judging platform for the international judges.

– the author’s name
– the author’s country
– an author’s statement, or a brief description with a minimum of 5 lines and a maximum of 20 lines.
