FOTOGRAFICA NEXT

FOTOGRAFICA NEXT was created to amplify the voices of those discovering their own visual language and seeking to portray the present with fresh eyes, bringing questions, ideas, and visions to the forefront. It's an invitation to reflect on the future through the perspectives of a new generation of talent.

The call awards projects in two distinct categories: traditional photography and works created with generative artificial intelligence. The theme for 2025 is As Brave As We Can. As Brave As We Can is an invitation to explore what it really means to be strong. Even when it doesn't show. Even when it feels scary. The winner of each category will receive a prize of €3,000 , a personal exhibition at the fifth edition of FOTOGRAFICA (October 11 – November 9, 2025), and the opportunity for a free portfolio review conducted by a jury of industry professionals during the festival. The 10 finalists (5 per category) will participate in a collective video projection at FOTOGRAFICA and will also be granted access to complimentary portfolio reviews.
