verzasca foto festival awards 2024

Verzasca Foto aims to promote emerging international photographers and to support visual arts in rural and peripheral areas, by giving them the freedom to express themselves through the connection to and dialogue with nature.

We are asking for projects of 3 to 10 photographic images in response to a free theme. An international jury of photography experts will judge the contest and will nominate one winner and nine finalists. Our goal is to promote an outstanding project and to showcase it in the events lineup of the festival in a solo exhibition.

Verzasca Foto Festival is a non-profit organisation based in the Verzasca valley, Switzerland. The valley, with its small villages of stone houses and with its dense, lush nature, sets the backdrop to the curation of our annual photographic exhibition and festival: an intimate meeting place where participants have the opportunity to share ideas, points of view, and their camera-based practices.
