Nikon Photo Contest

As a species, we have used visuals to communicate long before language was invented, and it remains a powerful tool of storytelling even today. Just as writers use words and sentences to create mood, a photographer uses light and composition to tell the story. Love, joy, defeat and desolation—a good photograph can capture each of these emotions in their subject. A great photograph can make the viewer feel these sentiments too.

Putting the spotlight on the art of photography is the Nikon Photo Contest, conducted by the Nikon Corporation since 1969. With time and leaps in technology, the categories of the competition have evolved, but the vision remains the same: to share the stories that truly matter.
