The Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry began accepting applications for the second Korea Corporate Photography Contest on Thursday, the biggest photography contest in the country, under the theme of “Corporations, Life and People.”

Anyone in and outside of Korea can submit a photograph from May 1 to Sept. 30. The only requirement is that the photographs must be related to corporations in some way.

Participants can submit as many entries as they want via online registration. It costs 1,000 won ($0.94) to enter one work.

The grand prize winner will receive 30 million won. The rest of the prizes will be awarded under two sections: regular and media. Under each section, two second-place winners will receive 5 million won. Five third-place winners will be awarded 2 million won and 30 fourth-place winners 500,000 won.

All contest winners will be announced in November after a monthlong judging process.

The first edition of the photography contest saw roughly 2,000 entries and 75 winners, according to KCCI. The winning photographs from 2014 were compiled into a video and can be viewed on the KCCI website.
