FOTOAWARD 2025 – International Non-profit Photography Contest

Now in its 7th year, the FOTOAWARD international non-profit photography contest is calling for entries for 2025.

Entry is limited to invited, selected accomplished photographers. There is a special challenge in the absence of genre-based categories or nominations.

Awards include medals, diplomas, photo filters, software licenses, and more.

FOTOAWARD is an international non-profit photography contest and an exhibition of participants’ works before a large Russian-speaking audience from various countries.

Submissions are made by publishing entries on the contest’s exhibition site, which is a Russian-language platform. This photo site, with the motto “Make raw, not war“, promotes photography as a means to unite people from different countries with diverse views. It’s the independent photography section of D3.ru, a very large and the oldest Russian social-networking portal, established in 2001. Its audience consists of Russian-speaking viewers from many countries, and their ratings are the initial judging stage.
