The Langhe Photo Prize invites photographers of all nationalities, both professionals and amateurs, to participate in the Open Call 2025 by submitting a photographic project.
The theme is open, allowing space for creativity and personal visions: from intimate perspectives to social dimensions, from connections with the environment to collective dynamics—every approach is welcomed and valued.
The Open Call aims to promote photographic language and provide a concrete opportunity to showcase one’s work.
Selected projects will be exhibited through solo and group shows during the Langhe Photo Festival 2025. Additionally, artists recognized for the value of their artistic research will receive support tools for their work, such as EIZO monitors, to encourage the development of their future projects.
