This is the first year the contest is open to international applicants.

The jury for NEW EXPOSURE is composed of eminent personalities from the world of fashion, photography,
art and design including Tomas Maier, Creative Director of Bottega Veneta; Ivan Shaw, Photography Director at TVogue; supermodel

The panel will review the submitted portfolios in late July and choose ten finalists who will then be assigned a final project
that will be reviewed at the end of the summer. The winner will be announced during a private ceremony in September during New York Fashion Week.  In addition to being honored at the ceremony, the winner will receive a prize package including $10,000, a one-year mentorship with Art+Commerce, as well as a mentorship with Ivan Shaw at Vogue, and also the opportunity to shoot an exclusive project for Bottega Veneta which will be announced later this year.
