About the Call Full Details
FOTOAWARD is an independent, free, non-commercial international photography competition, created and run by photography enthusiasts for photographers worldwide. Since 2018, it has provided a platform where photographers of all genres can compete on equal terms. Unlike many competitions, FOTOAWARD operates on an invitation-only model. Experienced and accomplished photographers first submit examples of their work for review, and selected authors are then invited to participate in the main competition, ensuring a consistently high standard while remaining accessible to talented photographers globally.
The competition welcomes all photographic genres, including landscape, wildlife, street photography, documentary, portraiture, travel, fine art, conceptual work, architecture, sports, and experimental photography. Images compete directly against one another rather than being separated into categories. Throughout the year, accepted works are published on the competition’s exhibition platform, where they are viewed and evaluated by an active international audience. In addition to public engagement, photographs are reviewed by an international jury composed of respected photography professionals. FOTOAWARD emphasizes transparency, with a complete archive of past works, ratings, and results publicly accessible since 2018.
