The Washington Post is delighted to announce the winners and honorable mentions of its 2019 Open Call for photographers. Determined to expand the parameters of visual storytelling, the Washington Post hosted this open call using the Visura platform to connect with professional photographers worldwide.

The Open Call was an exclusive opportunity for photographers who are Visura members to submit visual stories depicting daily life including but not limited to, climate change, back-to-the-land movements or families/communities living “off the grid,” revelatory depictions of the human condition, and celebrations of local traditions or cultures - from anywhere in the world. We were particularly interested in the visual stories Visura members were photographing where they live. The 2 winners and 3 honorable mentions have received an invitation to feature the winning project or a new project on The Washington Post In Sight photo blog

A note from MaryAnne Golon, Director of Photography:


The Washington Post In Sight team was delighted with the high quality, visual variety and wide range of subjects we viewed from Visura members answering our latest Open Call. Many of these visual stories were both inspiring and fresh in their approach. We are particularly excited about the winners delving into the seldom seen worlds of female magicians, Ozarks residents, and even an orangutan rescue. We are very grateful to the Visura community and look forward to future collaborations.
