Nominations open for Pride Photo Award 2024

For the 2024 edition of the Pride Photo Award they want to ensure an open and inviting contest, and have chosen to remain without a specific theme: The process of change. They strive to expand the horizons, and those of their audiences, through a rich, multi-faceted and diverse collection of stories from the global LGBTQIA+ community.

They invite you all to apply, and hope to see this openness reflected in the submissions for the 2024 Pride Photo contest. Whether artistic photography that expresses the richness of diversity and identity in the community, documentary photographs highlighting the struggle for recognition and equal rights, or images that celebrate the power of inclusive collaboration and unity.
