A new era for photography in the region begins with the launch of the first edition of the Leica Latin America Luxury Travel Photography Awards, an initiative that celebrates Latin American visual talent and promotes new perspectives on the bond between travel, people, culture, and the environment. Open to professional and emerging photographers between 18 and 60 years old who are from—or reside in—Spanish-speaking Latin American countries, this competition aspires to become an international benchmark for travel photography. Its goal is to gather authentic visual narratives that—beyond traditional categories such as landscape, portrait, or nature—reflect the invaluable human connection with place and cultural experiences.
The competition will reward three photographers with unique travel experiences and state-of-the-art Leica equipment. First prize will receive a Leica Q camera and travel to Peru for an editorial production with Luxury Travel Magazine, featuring stays and experiences curated by Belmond by NUBA and LATAM Airlines. Second prize will receive a Leica D-Lux 8 and a 14-day editorial voyage with PONANT and LATAM Airlines, while third prize will be awarded Leica binoculars and a stay at Chablé Yucatán, Mexico. All winning series will be published in Luxury Travel Magazine and across its digital platforms, amplifying Latin American talent to the world.
Open to professional and emerging photographers between 18 and 60 years old who are from—or reside in—Spanish-speaking Latin American countries.
