Welcome to the Google Photography Prize

The Google Photography Prize is a global competition for students to create themes for iGoogle. Run in collaboration with the Saatchi Gallery London, the Google Photography Prize is open to students across the world.

We have opened up iGoogle, our personalised homepage, as the digital canvas for your creativity. We invite you to submit your compelling photography and bring your art online to a global audience.

How it works

Enter your portfolio of five digital photos that together will make up the iGoogle theme.

We will also be running a leader board for the university/college with the most entrants for everyone to see, so tell your friends to enter to see your university at the top.

• The shortlist: 36 shortlisted entries will be turned into iGoogle themes, shown on Google and put to public vote.
• The finalists: 6 finalists will be exhibited at the Saatchi Gallery London, and reviewed by our independent jury.
• The winner: 1 winner will receive a £5,000 ($7500 USD) bursary and an invite to spend a day with Martin Parr.

Deadline

Submit your entry on this website by 31st May. How to enter
