DELOITTE FOUNDATION PHOTO GRANT OPEN CALL 2026 

Leave a comment

Application Deadline: June 14, 2026

LOCATION: Italy

The theme of the 2026 edition of Deloitte’s Photo Grant is Proximities, an invitation to tell and investigate the new forms of distance that characterize our era, a distance that is not only physical but also arises from economic polarization, technological mediation, and social fragmentation. The theme also invites reflection on what holds communities together despite the pressures of the present and how photography can make these forms of proximity and distance legible.

ELIGIBILITY:

An open call is to be held for this section and will be open to all amateur and professional photographers under age 35. Entrants will be required to submit an idea for a project related to the theme of the award.

The submitted projects will be selected by an international panel made of renowned professionals.

The project idea consists of a description of the project for a maximum of 1,500 characters and a budget estimate of the project itself for a maximum of 1,500 characters, both to be entered 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 relate to both the project idea itself (which thanks to the Prize can be expanded and extended), and other projects.

The photographs must be unpublished and must not have been awarded in other competitions or made public during other events.

The single photographer can participate only once and by submitting only one project idea.

Images produced with AI will be accepted as long as it is explicitly stated in the accompanying text that they have been created this way.

BENEFIT:

The winner of this section will receive a mention in the exhibition dedicated to the winner of the nomination section and €25,000 towards the execution of their project idea. The resulting work will become an exhibition when the next edition of the award is held.
