NEW YORK - FEBRUARY 12, 2010

WIN-Initiative, the alternative stock agency dedicated to finding cutting-edge photographers from around the world, has teamed up with 10 art/fashion/lifestyle magazines from different countries to host a truly global photography competition. The 10 Best 10 international photo competition is a definitive showcase of the very best of contemporary photography.

The magazines involved are:Time Out/United States, Oyster/Australia, Eyemazing/The Netherlands, Guerilla/Canada, Zoom/Russia, S Magazine/Sweden, Reflex/Argentina, FUXYZ/Spain, The Outlook/China, One Small Seed/South Africa and Let Them Eat Cake/England

“Our partner magazines are all forward-thinking, youth culture based and highly sophisticated visually, completely in line with the image that WIN strives to promote. And together we hope to shine a light on deserving and emerging photographers as well as create buzz, publicity and cross platform exposure for all.” says WIN founder and award-winning photographer Hans Neleman.

“With this competition, in addition to finding the world’s next photography talents, we really hope to showcase how many complimentary industries can collaborate for mutual benefit. The total sponsor prize package of $30000 is attractive too. Bronimaging just added a $5000 portable lighting package to our prizes.” says Charlie Fish, Editor in Chief of WIN’s own online photography magazine, WINk.

So what role do the magazines play in this second-in-a-series of international competitions bearing the 10 Best 10 brand name? The first stage involves the magazine editors selecting their region’s top photographer. Each winner will receive a DSLR camera (brand to be announced soon). The magazines will then assign a photo shoot to their winner, to be completed with their new camera. The resulting magazine layouts will then be judged to find the next star photographer. The ten photo shoots will be documented and edited into a small promo feature.
