For more than 25 years, the Review Santa Fe Photo Symposium has provided opportunities for photographers to expand their audiences, engage in critical discussions, and connect with their community. One of the country’s original juried portfolio review events, Review Santa Fe, marks its 24th year in November 2025.
Our premier program serves local, national, and international constituents, offering portfolio reviews with esteemed industry professionals from such organizations as National Geographic, The Washington Post, Harvard Art Museums, NPR, the Phoenix Museum of Art, and many more. For non-participating photographers and photo enthusiasts, Review Santa Fe includes a public exposition and photographic book fair, scholar lectures, and more networking programs throughout the weekend of events.
SUBMIT YOUR WORK • Applications for the 2025 Review Santa Fe portfolio reviews are now open.
FREE AND PUBLIC ACCESS • Join us in person in Santa Fe, NM, for the Portfolio Walk and Book Fair at the Santa Fe Farmers’ Market Pavilion, and the annual award winners and grant recipients make their public Project Presentations downtown at the La Fonda on the Plaza Hotel. Further details for the 2025 programs are forthcoming.
INVITED PHOTOGRAPHERS • Each year, during CENTER’s Calls for Entry, photographers from across the globe submit their work for consideration. An independent selection committee ranks projects, and the highest-scoring work receives invitations to participate in Review Santa Fe. All invited artists receive up to nine 20-minute Portfolio Reviews with the Reviewers, inclusion in the Portfolio Walk Public Exposition, access to Private Receptions, and inclusion in the Photographers Listing & Archive.
