FEMALE PHOTOGRAPHY PRIZE

International call dedicated to the female gaze
Third edition

Many thanks to all the participants in the third edition of the Fotografia al Femminile prize.

Our Call dedicated to the female gaze was a triumph of creativity, diversity and authenticity, and this was made possible by the extraordinary participation of every single person involved.

Each image sent in was a precious fragment of a bigger story, a reflection of your unique view of the world and your experience as a woman. Thank you for moving, inspiring and moving us with your art and talent.

We can only thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making this journey so extraordinary and unforgettable. But it is only the beginning because now a selection of this incredible work will become a Photographic Exhibition.

The jury chaired by Federica Berzioli Editorial Co-ordinator of the magazine IL FOTOGRAFO met and elected the winners and shortlisted candidates of the third edition of the International Call for Photos PREMIO “FOTOGRAFIA AL FEMMINILE” that will take part in the Collective Exhibition that will be inaugurated on Saturday 13 April at 4pm and will remain open until Saturday 12 May at the National Roman Museum in the splendid rooms of Palazzo Massimo.

INTRODUCTION / PURPOSE

1. Revolution in Women’s Representation: We invite professional women photographers, women photographers and women citizens from every nation to participate in a revolutionary action, going beyond the demonstration of male achievements and asserting the complete, inclusive and interconnected identity of every woman.
2. Conceptual Innovation and Inclusiveness: We seek visual stories that go beyond the traditional demonstration of achievements, encouraging participants to express their essence in a unique and inclusive way by telling a conceptual innovation.
3. Collective Contribution: The Call emphasises each woman’s contribution to collective progress, inviting them to show through photographs how their ingenuity, intuition and everyday innovation contribute to the betterment of society as a whole.
4. Revealing Every Woman’s Super Powers: Every woman possesses super powers that manifest naturally, brilliantly, intuitively and innovatively every day. The Call invites participants to reveal these powers, often present in an unconscious way, through photographs.
5. Looking to the Past and Present: We ask you to explore your own and other women’s lives, contributing to a visual mosaic that reflects the diversity, strength and beauty of women’s experiences. Participate with your photographs in the I’m Call and join us in celebrating the richness and complexity of women’s lives.
