The Act On Your Future Foundation (AOYF), in partnership with the Centre de la photographie Genève (CPG), invites artists from around the world to apply for the 7th AOYF Human Rights Photography Prize, under the theme “Post-Truth: Reality in Question.”
Launched in 2015, the Prize brings together artistic creation and reflection on contemporary human rights issues. For its first fully international open call, it welcomes artists from diverse backgrounds and encourages a wide range of perspectives and approaches to photography and image-based practices.
Five Finalists will be selected by an interdisciplinary Jury to develop and present their work in a collective exhibition at the CPG in Geneva, Switzerland, from 16 June to 21 August 2027. The Winner will receive a CHF 10,000 Award, while the four other Finalists will each receive CHF 1,000. All five will benefit from production and curatorial support, as well as assistance with travel and accommodation to participate in the programme in Geneva.
Applications are free of charge and open to artists aged 18 and over, regardless of nationality or country of residence.
