The Chicago Reporter is launching its inaugural Justice Photojournalism Contest, inviting photographers and journalists across Chicago to share work that reflects the lived experiences of our communities.

We’re looking for images that document, challenge, and bring deeper understanding to the stories unfolding around us every day. Submissions are open now through May 1, and selected work will be featured at a public showcase on May 14, 2026.

Attendees can purchase tickets or support the event here:
