Theme: Humanity World

Eligibility: Open to all

Entry Fees: Between 25 and 40 Euros

Welcome to the 4th edition of the Great Photo Awards. Photographers from all over the world are invited to explore and capture the vast and intricate world of human existence through their lens. This competition, under the theme “Humanity World”, focuses on the diverse aspects of humanity – from the people we meet, their environments, and the creations that define them, to the traditions and customs that shape cultures across the globe.

We encourage sharing the many faces of humanity, through powerful portraits, candid street photography, immersive travel experiences, stunning architecture and the enduring practices that define cultures and societies. “Humanity World” celebrates the diversity, creativity, and emotional depth of human life, inviting photographers to submit images that reflect the connections, emotions, and cultures that make us unique.

Your photos can be in Color or Black & White, but each entry should embrace the essence of “Humanity World” by showcasing the intricate connections between individuals, communities, and the world they inhabit.
