We’re excited to announce the launch of the IPC Monthly Student Spotlight! A new opportunity highlighting emerging student voices in photography and visual storytelling.

Our first theme is EMERGENCE — a moment of becoming. A shift. A quiet arrival. The feeling of something new taking form. Emergence lives in subtle change, in light returning, in identity unfolding, and in stories finding their voice.

We invite currently enrolled undergraduate students to submit work exploring growth, transformation, and the in-between moments that shape who we are.

The selected student artist will be featured across IPC’s social media platforms, highlighted on our website, and receive a portfolio review opportunity.

Deadline: April 20, 2026
