Whether you're posting the occasional selfie to Instagram or mastering the art of dog portraits, it's a good time to be a young photographer. And now, Flickr's spotlighting the power of young peoples' photography with its first annual 20 Under 20 celebration.
The 20 nominees, hailing everywhere from Australia to Germany, will have their work displayed during a gala event at NYC's Milk Studios on Oct. 1. You can vote for the three Audience Choice Awards by tweeting "#Flickr20u20" along with the name of the photographers you think should win #mostcreative, #besttechnique and #strongestportfolio.
Scroll down for a sampling of photographs taken by the 20 talented young artists.
