New York Photo Festival


New York International Photo Festival

The theme at NYPH in 2013 is 'Devastation, Document, Drive'

The basis of this theme was born from hurricane Sandy that hit the east coast of America in October 2012. 

The website overview is 'All photographers––professional, student, amateur, beginner, camera-phone users, hobbyists, and civilians––are welcome to submit their photographs of this cataclysmic event––the superstorm’s wrath, the incredible devastation, the struggle to restore and rebuild––as well as analogous instances elsewhere in this age of imperious weather and its contemporary causes.'

I think this theme is something that would be quite hard for us to create as it's something which is based around a natural disaster, something which we don't generally have in the UK, well apart from the 5mm of snow that falls and grinds the country to a halt!
