SAPRAC Photo Contest
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is experiencing historic social and economic transformations. At the heart of these historic transformations are Saudi Arabia’s creative class, who are eager to express themselves and their heritage to the world.
In addition, there are Americans who have visited, worked and even lived in Saudi Arabia
and are eager to tell the world about the time that they have spent in the Kingdom.
The SAPRAC 2019 Photo Contest is a chance for both Saudi and American photographers to showcase their skills
on a platform that will allow them to tell their stories of inspiration, ambition and pride through their own lens.
We are calling for Saudi and American photographers of all levels to share their talents with the world.
We plan to announce winners of the SAPRAC Photo Contest in December 2019.

How will my submission be judged?
We do not specify any specific photographic style, so please feel free to choose a style that is most appropriate to your skill level. However, it is important to try and consider what you are attempting to communicate in the photograph as an artist.
There are three general aspects to contest submissions that we will consider, which are technical execution, artistry and appeal to Saudi and American audiences.
A committee from both SAPRAC and an independent panel of Saudi and American photography experts will determine the winners of the contest.
