The Newswomen’s Club of New York is currently accepting submissions for the 2026 Photography Showcase.

This year’s event will highlight works of photojournalism, and we encourage photojournalists to submit their work to this celebration of the profession.

Projects (up to 10 images) and single images can be submitted for review and selection by the event committee.   Image files will be used to print one copy for display during the event. 

As the event also serves as the annual fundraiser for the Newswomen's Club of New York, proceeds from any image sales will be split 50/50 between the photographer and the club, a 501(c)6 nonprofit. 

The showcase will be held in the fall of 2026, and the date and location will be announced once finalized.

Photographers retain their full copyrights and credits are given on the images. 

Individual work may be highlighted on social media leading up to the event. If you prefer that your work not be included in social media promotion, please let us know!
