The Nikon Photo Contest International has been held by Nikon Corporation since 1969 to provide an
opportunity for professional and amateur photographers around the world to engage with one another.
In the last 10 years, with digital cameras with video capabilities having become increasingly popular,
the environment surrounding image_making has dramatically changed. Adapting to this change,
the 34th contest was reconceived, changing its name and its structure,
and it continues to evolve to create new standards and provide new opportunities for discovery.
The Nikon Photo Contest nurtures an aspirational community of creators
who share important stories and influence the way people think through the global language of imaging.
