From emerging artists to established photographers, photoED magazine shares photography stories in a brand new light, publishing well considered submissions that are original art works, crafted with intention. 

Submissions are blind reviewed by our Volunteer Curatorial Editorial board members. When examining entries, judges will assess how the work presents a unique interpretation on the theme of MOVEMENT.
