Your Photo. Your Voice. Your Time to Shine.

This is a photography movement for aspiring and everyday photographers of the World! Where Images that express the beauty and emotions of life are welcomed with enthusiasm and technical perfection is not a must! Every image is seen and appreciated!

The Mission

Since 2008 Studio414’s One World Photo Contest has awarded over $100,000 in prizes to Photographers around the World! From Clay Lancaster in San Francisco to Sedera Ramanitra in Madagascar! The Mission has always been simple. Help the everyday and aspiring photographers of the world feel seen and have a sense of belonging, and inspire them to keep growing! This October 2025 the mission has transformed and new membership options will be open shortly! This new era will have a focus on featuring as many talented photographers as possible in the New Ambient Video Series that will forever live on Youtube as Relaxing and inspiring Videos for decades to come and for all to enjoy! And one talented Photographer will be awarded the Grand Prize Trophy plus a cash prize that will be determined by participation and membership each year!
