Global Call — LensCulture Art Photography Awards 2024

The LensCulture Art Photography Awards 2024 continue our tradition of celebrating visionary photographers from around the globe. We invite all photographers to explore and present the unseen, the unheard and the unspoken through their lenses.

There are no limits or definitions for these awards. We’re seeking all kinds of submissions from conceptual work and prints made for gallery walls, to images made from alternative processes, to totally new forms and formats that speak to our digital age. What matters is your unique creative vision and your skills in translating that vision into exceptional and original work.

Read on for information about our expert international jury and awards. Winners will be included in an exhibition in New York during The Photography Show, receive extensive media coverage, projection at international photography festivals, cash prizes and more.
