All the shortlisted works (up to 40) will be projected at the coming edition of the Photo Vogue Festival in Milan, while the Vogue Italia photography department, led by Alessia Glaviano, will further select a work among all of the submissions that will be granted an online featured interview on the magazine. The call also offers exhibition and educational opportunities thanks to the work of the PhMuseum team that will handpick a project for a solo exhibition at PhMuseum Lab in 2023 and six photographers who will each access a free 60-minute online portfolio review from PhMuseum’s education program. Morever, the Dutch Organization Noorderlicht will invite an applicant to exhibit at the Noorderlicht 2023 Photofestival.

To participate, photographers are invited to submit one or more projects centered around a specific theme, narrative or concept. All approaches are welcome from classic to more experimental projects. By applying photographers retain full copyright or their images at all times. The judging is delegated to an independent jury comprising Alessia Glaviano (Head of Global Photo Vogue and Director of Photo Vogue Festival), Amanda Hajjar (Director of Exhibitions at Fotografiska New York), Hoda Afshar (Photographer) and Jane'a Johnson (Artistic Director Foam Fotografiemuseum). The review will happen between October and November with the shortlist to be announced just before Photo Vogue Festival.
