Our buddies Magnum Photos are partnering with the Photography Show to give 30 IdeasTap members the opportunity to have their work exhibited at a brand new photography experience at the Birmingham NEC.

Thirty brief winners will participate in an exclusive ‘30 under 30’ portfolio review event at the Photography Show. They’ll receive critiques from three top industry professionals from the editorial, publishing, museum, advertising, and gallery sectors.  The winning photographers’ work will also be included in an exhibition featured at the Photography Show.

In addition, the 30 winning photographers will automatically be nominated for three “people’s choice” awards, voted on by the public, via social media.

Those winning photographers will enjoy a special, extended feature of their work, showcased by both the Photography Show and Magnum Photos on their respective websites.
