Welcome to
ARTFUL REACH
SPECIALIST AGENCY DEVELOPING TRUSTED RESOURCES FOR THE GLOBAL PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS MARKET.
Artful Reach is a specialist agency built on deep industry experience to support the photography awards and competitions sector. Though we are a new entity, our team’s background in competition management and market strategy spans many years.
Drawing on this extensive knowledge, we develop and manage trusted, essential resources that elevate industry standards. Our purpose is simple: to list and hand-select the best opportunities while providing reliable information and fairness for competition organisers and photographers alike.
Our efforts are anchored by two key assets built to serve this mission: OpenCallDirect.com and TrustPCS.org.
OpenCallDirect (OCD): The Photographer-First Resource
OCD is the specialised news and listing platform built by industry experts for photographers. We are the new generation resource focused entirely on providing reliable, efficient tools for the photographic community.
Our platform is designed to filter out the noise, focusing on hand-selecting quality opportunities over sheer volume. We publish detailed, comprehensive information about awards, including competition winners, deadline extensions, and jury announcements.
This wealth of data allows photographers to make informed choices about where to submit their work. Our goal is simple: to make OCD the definitive, most trusted resource where the global photographic community can focus on the best opportunities for their work.
TrustPCS.org: Ethical Governance
TrustPCS.org is the dedicated, non-commercial platform focused on promoting fair practice, transparency, and clear standards within the photo awards industry.
We serve two core audiences: We provide photographers with essential information on image rights and bring forth a clear understanding of what to look for in competition terms and conditions. We offer guidance and resources for organizers to encourage fair terms, helping them maximize the number and quality of entries.
TrustPCS serves as an independent resource, helping to maintain industry integrity and providing a reliable, ethical reference point for the media and the public.
