Fotografia Calabria Festival Award ends 15 November 2026

Deadline: 15 November 2026. For the first time, the competition doesn’t set a theme, allowing every photographer to showcase their distinctive viewpoint.

We invite photographers to submit works characterised by a strong conceptual coherence and a clear artistic vision. We are not necessarily looking for the unprecedented, nor for originality at all costs. Originality may lie in the personal way in which a photographer observes, interprets and renders the reality they depict through the language of photography, the construction of the narrative and the ability to approach familiar subjects or themes from an individual perspective.

A body of work can therefore be original even when the subject matter is not: what matters is the presence of a conscious artistic vision, capable of revealing the project’s underlying structure and identity.

Prizes:

– 2,000 euros in cash, awarded by the Festival
– Paid publication (1,000 euros) of a project in “Internazionale” magazine
– The two prizes may be combined or remain separate
– Exhibition/screening at one of the Festival’s forthcoming editions or at related events
– Visibility for the winner for a period of 12 months
– Online gallery: the shortlisted projects will be published in the permanent online gallery on the Festival’s official website and on its social media channels
