DELOITTE’S PHOTO GRANT 2025

Application Deadline: 30th June, 2025

LOCATION: Italy

The theme of the 2025 edition of Deloitte’s Photo Grant is dedicated to investigating the gap between equality and inequality, taking as a reference the various contradictory aspects inherent in contemporary societies.  Thus, with these assumptions, the theme Contrasts is not limited solely to economic aspects, but rather intends to extend its possibilities of exploration to the spectrum of civil rights. In this regard, the Deloitte Photo Grant aims to visually testify to the daily battles related to the improvement of human rights (of all, without exception) and, at the same time, to the rejection of any form of discrimination. 

ELIGIBILITY:

All amateur and professional photographers under 35 can apply and participate in the open call category by submitting an original project idea on the proposed theme: Contrasts.

The project idea consists of a description of the project for a maximum of 1,500 characters and an estimate of the budget of the project itself for a maximum of 1,500 characters, both to be inserted in the respective fields of the participation form. The images that make up the portfolio of 10 photos (for a maximum of 10MB and in JPG, PDF, or tiff format) can concern both the project idea itself (which, thanks to the award, can be expanded and extended) and other projects.

The photographs must be unpublished (never published) and must not have been awarded in other competitions or made public during other events.

Each photographer may participate only once and submit only one project idea.

Images produced with AI will be accepted as long as this is explicitly indicated in the text accompanying the project.

BENEFIT:

The winner of this category will receive a cash contribution of €20,000, a mention in the exhibition scheduled to start in November 2025 at the Triennale di Milano and an exhibition in the 2026 edition
