The IPFA Award invites photographers and artists worldwide to submit projects for an international curatorial review and exhibition platform dedicated to contemporary photographic practices.

Selected projects may be developed as solo exhibitions across the IPFA festival network, while 50 finalists will be featured in a travelling collective exhibition, opening 19 March 2026 in Barcelona 🏛️

No fixed theme – documentary, social inquiry, urban and street, analogue processes, nature & wildlife, experimental and conceptual approaches are all welcome 🧪🌿

Projects will be evaluated for originality, visual coherence, narrative strength, innovation, and transnational relevance.
