Now open for entry, the third edition of Portrait of Humanity will celebrate the many faces of humanity in the most tumultuous time in our
generation.
In a year of global upheaval, Portrait of Humanity 2021 is an open call to photographers of any level, from anywhere, to
remind us what makes us human in times of struggle: hope, courage, resilience, solidarity; finding beauty in the
mundane, forging connection in times of separation, fighting to fix cracks in our systems.
Entries are open for all interpretations of portraiture, including self-portraits, group pictures, street photography and beyond.
