However, the photography competition is only half of the story. While highlighting the photographer’s art through this event, they also produce an international biannual arts and culture magazine, 212 Magazine.

With these two entities hand in hand, funded by 212 Studio, the premier boutique photography and production agency in Istanbul, they aim to be as challenging as they are influential – to provide an inclusive space for ideas and perspectives to mix without prejudice and better interrogate social, artistic and cultural phenomena from the region and around the world.

By choosing to enter the 212 Photography Scholarships Competition, you gain the benefit of the prestige and international exposure that comes from entering a competition of this scope. The aim is to transform the competition into a cultural and artistic tradition that comes out of Istanbul.
