International Women Photographers Award, the call is open!

In photography agencies, only 1 out of 4 photographers is a woman. In 2015, female photographers earned in average 29% less than men. Over the last decade, only 22% of the photographers presenting their works in museums or galleries have been women (you will find these informations in our special issue Femmes photographes, une sous-exposition manifeste). IWPA (International Women Photographers Award) aims to help women photographers to gain global recognition. Its goal is to provide a platform for women photographers to display their works to a wide and diverse audience, working against inequalities and under-representation of women in photography.

For the 2019 edition, an international jury with outstanding personalities from the artistic panorama will choose 11 finalists. Among the 11 finalists, one laureate will be announced as the official winner the day of the opening exhibition on March, 8th 2019 – the International Women’s Day. The laureate and finalists’ work will be included in a traveling exhibition through the year in key cities in Europe, Asia and Middle East, such as Paris, Tokyo, New Delhi or Dubai.
