The Photo Museum Ireland International Open Awards

Photo Museum Ireland invites photographers from around the globe to submit works that explore the theme ‘Reflecting the Real’. In today’s image-saturated world, often shaped by AI, misinformation, and the manipulation of truth, we increasingly turn to artists for authentic reflections on contemporary, lived realities. This Open Call invites artists to share their perspectives on authenticity, truth, and the human condition in contemporary society reflected through photography.

Submissions will be reviewed by an international panel of photography experts, who will select the overall winners and the shortlisted works for the exhibition. Five artists will be given the opportunity to exhibit their work in a major exhibition in Photo Museum Ireland – the National Centre for Contemporary Photography. Winners will also receive professional fine art printing and framing of their work, and a cash award of €1000 each.

A wider selection of work by 15 shortlisted artists will be featured in a projection installation within the exhibition space and in a dedicated online gallery, offering photographers an exciting opportunity to gain global exposure and recognition.
