Magnum Photos is a co-operative owned and run by its members/photographers. They meet once a year during the last weekend in June to discuss the organization’s affairs. One day of the meeting is set aside for looking at and voting on potential new members' portfolios.

Successful applicants will be invited to become a "Nominee Member", a category of membership, which presents an opportunity for Magnum and the individual to get to know each other. At this stage there are no binding commitments on either side.

Magnum is only considering digital submissions at this point. Please fill out the submissions form and upload your portfolio. The deadline for submissions is before midnight GMT January 31st 2019.

Applicants must submit at least two photographic projects (three projects max.) with a maximum 80 images over all projects.

Magnum will notify successful applicants by June 30th 2019.
