Women Photography Awards 2026

The Women Photography Awards 2026 celebrate the vision, creativity, and talent of women photographers from around the world. Submit your strongest work for the chance to gain international recognition and win the prestigious title of Women Photographer of the Year.

The Women Photography Awards is open to women photographers of all experience levels, amateur and professional alike, from anywhere in the world. Entrants must be at least 18 years of age. Staff members of Women Photography Awards, employees of affiliated companies, and representatives of sponsoring organizations are not eligible to enter. For the purposes of competition eligibility, the Women Photography Awards defines a woman as any individual who self-identifies as a woman. In alignment with standards recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Human Rights Office (OHCHR), eligibility is based on an individual’s internal and deeply felt experience of gender identity rather than sex assigned at birth.

You also acknowledge that Women Photography Awards is authorized to process your registration data in accordance with applicable privacy standards.
