CPOY invites you to enter your images and stories in the 78th College Photographer of the Year competition. This year's College Photographer of the Year (winner of Portfolio) will be awarded a mentorship with National Geographic that includes virtual seminars and one-on-one meetings with a mentor(s), leading to the pitch of a short assignment for the digital platform. Undergraduate or graduate students at any college or university worldwide who enrolled for at least one semester, trimester or quarter between September 2022 and December 2023 may enter. Those who have worked two years or more as full-time professional photographers, videographers or web producers (including paid internships) are not eligible. You must submit the name and contact information for a faculty member or advisor who can verify your eligibility as a recent student and not a professional photographer. They will only be contacted if we have eligibility concerns. Please visit the award's website for more information.
