World Photographic Cup: Team USA selected for competition

Congratulations to the photographers selected to represent Team USA in the 2017 World Photographic Cup. The World Photographic Cup, which mimics the Olympic Games in structure, pits teams of photographers from numerous countries against one other in friendly competition. Teams can enter up to three images in each of six categories. Gold, silver, and bronze medals are awarded to individual creators in each category. These awards accrue points for the national teams, and the cup is awarded to the team achieving the highest overall score.

The fourth annual World Photographic Cup awards ceremony will be held in Yokahama, Japan, on Feb. 23. Twenty-six teams will compete for the title. worldphotographiccup.org
