PHOTOGRAPHY 4 HUMANITY AND FOTOGRAFISKA LAUNCH GLOBAL PRIZE OPEN CALL: HOME

Leave a comment

Application Deadline: 12 July 2026 – 10:00 CEST

LOCATION: USA

Photography 4 Humanity, in partnership with the world-renowned photography museum Fotografiska, has launched HOME, a global open call inviting photographers everywhere to explore one of the most universal—and most fragile—ideas of our time. In a world shaped by climate disruption, conflict, migration, and displacement, HOME asks emerging artists to capture what home means today: a place of safety, belonging, identity, memory, or loss.

ELIGIBILITY:

Open to photographers everywhere

Entry is free

They are looking for images that reflect on safety, belonging, dignity, identity, and place. In a time shaped by climate disruption, displacement, and migration, the meaning of home carries new urgency. We welcome photographs that explore this theme through personal, documentary, or conceptual perspectives.

Everyone who has submitted to this Open Call will be notified in October 2026.

BENEFIT:

Selected works will be exhibited at the United Nations Headquarters in New York in recognition of Human Rights Day on 10 December 2026, bringing these stories into one of the world’s most important civic spaces. Presented in partnership with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (UN Human Rights), which joins as Global Impact Partner.
