Brave New Visions: Creativity as Rebellion — PhotoVogue Global Open Call 2026

PhotoVogue's Global Open Call 2026 — Brave New Visions: Creativity as Rebellion — is an invitation to photographers and video makers worldwide to submit work that takes a genuine position in relation to the world as it is.

At a moment when images are produced at unprecedented speed and just as quickly forgotten, PhotoVogue is looking for work that resists that disappearance. Not work that illustrates the world, but work that answers it — with urgency, conviction, and a distinct visual language.

What they're looking for

Across all genres — fashion, documentary, portraiture, fine art, and experimental practice — they want work that carries a strong point of view and a sense of necessity. It might take the form of intimacy, confrontation, rupture, or care. What matters is the force behind it.

Who can apply

Any artist aged 18 or over, anywhere in the world. Submissions are free. If you've previously submitted to a PhotoVogue Open Call, you're encouraged to submit a new project.

What to submit

• A series of up to 15 images, or a combination of images and video for multimedia projects
• Optionally, a 60-second video trailer
• AI-generated works are not eligible

Grants

• $6,000 USD — Outstanding Vision Grant: for work that expands the boundaries of visual language
• $4,000 USD — Vision Grant: for a strong and singular perspective
• $2,000 USD — Rising Voice Grant: for an emerging artist showing clarity, originality, and promise

Additional opportunities

• Presentation at the next PhotoVogue Festival
• Potential publication across Vogue's 32 global editions
• Invitation to participate in PhotoVogue Virtual Portfolio Reviews

Submissions are made via Picter. The jury will be announced during the submission period.
