.photography is a proposed new TLD in ICANN's New gTLD Program. The only remaining applicant is Donuts

Auction[edit | edit source]

In June 2013, the two applicants for .photography, Top Level Design and Donuts, participated in the first round of private gTLD Auctions held by Innovative Auctions. The auction resulted in Donuts out-bidding Top Level Design in the .photography contention set.[1] CEO, Raymond King, was quoted as saying, ""The applicant auction process was great, the software functioned without a hitch and all of the folks involved were responsive and highly professional. We look forward to participating in future auctions with Innovative Auctions."[2]

Contract Signed[edit | edit source]

On Sept 23, 2013 Donuts received a Registry Agreement signed by ICANN for .photography after passing the Initial Evaluation.[3]
