The JC, in association with the Richard Young Gallery, is launching its first Young Photographers Competition, aimed at people aged 30 and under.
Aspirant photographers, amateur or professional, are invited to submit a picture on the theme of modern Jewish Britain.
The best pictures will be published in the JC later this year, and the overall winner will have a unique opportunity - their picture will go on show, for sale, in the Richard Young Gallery during its annual end-of-year exhibition.
The competition will be judged by renowned celebrity photographer Richard Young and the JC's award-winning creative director, John Belknap.
The Richard Young Gallery, founded in Holland Park, west London, in 2008 by Susan and Richard Young, is one of the foremost contemporary photography galleries in London.
Richard Young began his career in 1974 and is renowned for his candid pictures of the internationally famous - most often, these days, at their invitation.
New Yorker John Belknap designed for the Village Voice, the New York Times, and has been art director of many British titles, including the Sunday Telegraph magazine, the Daily Express, The European and Sunday Business.
