Women Photojournalists of Washington is a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to educating the public about the role of women-identifying visual journalists and fostering their professional success.

Over nearly 20 years, WPOW has grown from a small group of colleagues who met for quarterly potlucks, to a membership of over 400 professionals engaging in continuous annual programming. Our members include seasoned and emerging female photojournalists, photo editors, video journalists, multimedia producers, students and other industry professionals working in the Washington, D.C. area. These members have received top professional recognition including the Pulitzer Prize, the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award, the Overseas Press Club Award, the Hillman Prize for Journalism, White House News Photography Association awards, World Press Photo awards, and NPPA awards. Our mission of education has wide reach beyond this membership with robust programming that is open to the public.

WPOW membership is free and our public events are open to all genders. Please visit our news section to see what’s happening, subscribe to our newsletter and calendar. And if you’re ready to become a member, join us!
