New York Times Portfolio Reviews
Applications are now open for the free New York Portfolio Review which is produced by The New York Times photo department, Photoville and the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY.
This year we are bringing together 160 talented photographers with 80 top photo editors, publishers, and curators for the 12th annual New York Portfolio Review on April 26 and 27, 2025.
Due to popular demand, and the need to be as accessible as possible for those who cannot travel, the 2025 review will take place in person and remotely. On Saturday, April 26 the review will be in person in New York. On Sunday April 27 the review will be virtual over Zoom. Photographers can apply for either the in-person review, or the online review. But not both. Once you apply you will not be able to change which day, or format, that you wish to participate in.
Participation is open to anyone 18 or older. The review focuses on photojournalism, editorial and documentary photography, though all types of work will be considered.
The deadline is Monday, February 3, 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time.
