Solis Magazine is holding its first Fashion Beauty Contest for Emerging Talent. It can be tricky navigating the competitions that promise career-making exposure. This contest will establish itself as a reliable venue for new talent breaking through to the next level in professional photography. The prize isn’t much money, but this helps keep some of the “big fish” out of the competition, which means emerging talent has a greater chance of being noticed. All participants will be published in our special hardcover book at the end of the contest.
