The 2026 Textile Exchange Photography Competition, in partnership with Atmos, invites photographers and filmmakers to capture powerful, real-world stories of regeneration across the fashion, textile, and apparel industry.

From cotton farmers supporting the return of local biodiversity to recyclers transforming textile waste into something brand new, examples of alternative systems are unfolding across the globe. But to transform these local insights into learning at scale, we’re looking for stories that show how regeneration through fashion is not only possible—but already happening.

Under the theme Fashion Regenerated, this year’s competition sets out to document the potential of clothing and textiles to bring about beneficial ecological, social, and animal welfare outcomes.

Textile Exchange and Atmos are looking for photographers and filmmakers whose work documents different approaches to growing raw materials and producing textiles that enable local communities and landscapes to thrive.

At a time when interest in the regenerative potential of fashion is rapidly growing, this initiative aims to build and amplify the visual evidence illustrating what beneficial change looks like across different contexts, countries, cultures, and materials.
