Since 2008, the WPOW Annual Photography and Multimedia Exhibition has featured storytelling images and video from WPOW members curated from an annual competition of our members’ work by a rotating roster of judges. It debuts at a Washington, D.C. area gallery each fall and travels to colleges and universities throughout the country during the school year.

For the last few years, we have been partnering with D.C.’s Lost Origins Gallery to make the opening exhibition more accessible to the public than ever before, with our annual six-month residency at Lost Origins Outside. Each image is printed at 36"x 48" on weatherproof metal and mounted using industrial hardware along a heavily trafficked pedestrian alley in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood of Washington, D.C. QR code captions invite viewers to linger and dig deeper. And all of our exhibition-related programming occurs outdoors, welcoming passersby to participate.

The 2023 WPOW annual exhibition and opening event are exclusively sponsored by Nikon.
