Committed to inspiring the next generation of creatives while bringing well-deserved recognition to visionaries worldwide, Umencia Art Photo, Inc. commemorates photographers from all walks of life.
Founded by the artist photographer Christine Giroux, we believe in the power of photography to transcend borders, broaden perspectives, and promote cross-cultural understanding.
Headquartered in Canada, we invite anyone with a passion for photography to fulfill their creative potential and send in a submission. Upon receipt, our critically-acclaimed judging panel takes a comprehensive look at each piece, scoring based on a five-point assessment.
Through our category-based competition, we bring a newfound sense of purpose and excitement to photographers, recognizing a diverse blend of work along the way.
To properly commemorate our candidates and winners, we hold a yearly award ceremony where category and subcategory winners are recognized.
Our competition is open to all. We invite all interested photographers to join in regardless of experience level. Let’s share your story with the world, together.
