Agora Gallery presents the 7th Chelsea International Photography Competition, opening February 19, 2026, in the heart of New York’s Chelsea art district. The exhibition brings together a group of photographers whose work reflects the energy, depth, and creative range of today’s photographic practice. Selected from an international pool of applicants by a distinguished jury that includes Michelle Bogre, educator, documentary photographer, author, and copyright lawyer; Andrew VanWickler, Senior Solutions Consultant at Adobe and former visual leader at ABC News; and Devin Allen, award-winning photographer and photojournalist known for his community-driven and socially engaged work, the participating artists represent a wide spectrum of voices and perspectives. Their work comes together in a cohesive presentation that highlights photography as both a personal language and a powerful form of contemporary expression.
