2023 Canada Celebrates our Finalists
Team Canada celebrates our photographers as they take 6th and 10th place in the World Photographic Cup.
Congratulations also to Canada's Best of Nation winner Jo-Anne Oucharek
Since its beginnings, photography as an art has brought people together.
So it is not surprising that there is a special bond between photographers – regardless of where they come from. Photography is a bond that transcends language, culture, and geography. That’s the foundation behind the World Photographic Cup, a one of a kind international team competition created in 2013, celebrating photography in a way never dreamed of before. Sure, there are lots of other competitions, but there is just one World Photographic Cup.
WPC Team Canada creates our country’s submission. The committee, consisting of volunteers from supporting photographic associations, are tasked with curating all images submitted by Canadian photographers to find the 24 exceptional images that will represent Canada in the World Photographic Cup competition.
We know that Canada has many of the best and most creative photographers in the world. Our goal is to get Canadian images showcased in this competition and go for gold. We want Canada to be on the podium!
All Canadian Photographers, professional and amateur, are invited to submit images to the World Photographic Cup -Team Canada for consideration.

“I didn’t make the Canadian team, but still beneficial at the same time. I got a ton of marketing exposure just out of making it to the final round alone.
For example, getting my work into a fine art gallery (my first fine art gallery in 10+ years) and my image ‘Drop in Time’ was the curator’s favourite. Showing her the PPOC National Excellence award and telling her about the World Cup finals sure helped a lot.”
