Your real odds
Two cash winners are selected per quarter, one artist and one photographer, so your odds depend entirely on how your work reads against a global pool in a single category.
The $1,800 prize goes to exactly one person per category each cycle, and 18 honorable mentions are named alongside them. Four cycles run per year, so if you miss one quarter, you can apply again without waiting long.
