The Top 40 Impressive Submissions in the Saatchi Art Motion Photography Competition
Saatchi Art Motion Photography Contest Opens for Submissions
The Saatchi Gallery, in partnership with Google+, has launched the Saatchi Art Motion Photography Contest, a new annual competition that invites photographers, both budding and professional, to showcase their work.
This exciting event, which seeks to understand the medium's future through the lens of the smart phone, is judged by a panel of esteemed artists and industry professionals. The judges include Paul Foster (Saatchi Gallery Director), Katherine Benson (Exhibition Programming Manager at Saatchi Gallery), Dominic Harris (specialist judge in digital art), Annie Elliott (Creative Director at Saatchi & Saatchi), and other influential figures in art, culture, and marketing.
The contest is open to submissions, with the winners' pieces to be featured on Saatchi's website, the world's leading online art gallery. The submissions, which should be in GIF format, can be made to Saatchi Gallery's Google+ page.
The smart phone has democratized photography, allowing people from varied backgrounds to capture and share their lives. Its influence on the future of photography is still a topic of debate, but there's no denying its significant impact. Some consider it the best or worst thing since the daguerrotype.
The winners of this competition will have their works viewed in a private gallery in London, offering a unique opportunity for exposure and recognition.
However, time is of the essence. Although the exact deadline is not explicitly stated, a reminder about submissions being time-sensitive as of August 19, 2025, suggests the deadline is imminent or within days around that date. Since the contest is for 2025, it likely closes soon after mid to late August 2025.
