Trieste Photo Young 2022

The Trieste Photo Young photography contest is back with its second edition, promoted by Exhibit Around APS and the dotART cultural association.

The project

The project aims to discover, support and reward young photographers, offering them a prestigious exhibition space during the 9th edition of the Trieste Photo Days international photography festival, which will take place  from 28 to 30 October 2022  and will host internationally renowned photographers such as  Susan Meiselas ,  Nino Migliori  and  Shobha .

Who is it for?

To female photographers from all over the world who in the calendar year 2022 are between 18 and 30 years old. The authors can submit single photos , but also projects and portfolios .
The participating photographers will have the opportunity to see their photos included in the annual catalog of the Trieste Photo Days festival and to be exhibited at the exhibition dedicated to Trieste Photo Young 2022 .

The contest

The contest will be divided into 2 phases.
In the first phase the photos will be randomly distributed in 16 groups and voted by the staff of Exhibit Around APS , dotART Cultural Association and PAG .
The 2 best photos of each group (32 in total) will access phase 2 which will be a direct elimination grid divided into 16ths, along the lines of the World Cup . In this phase the photos will be voted on by a prestigious jury .

Theme and style

The theme is free. Everyone can instill their own stylistic code into the work, as well as choose the type of photography that is most congenial to them. We prefer street photography , architectural photography , and social reportage , but in general we like any quality photo that casts an original , unusual and personal look on the urban environment.
