Photolux promotes an international competition open to everyone, as part of the International Festival of Photography Photolux.

The competition will be held every two years in conjunction with the Photolux Festival and aims to seek emerging talents and to give them visibility. The winning entries will be viewed not only by visitors at the event itself, but also by experts in the industry, who will be taking part in the Festival.

Thanks to a collaboration between Photolux Festival and Vogue Italy, this year we will also run a competition open to the members of PhotoVogue, a Vogue.it platform with over 55,000 members worldwide.

For both sections of the contest, the theme to develop was the same as that of the Festival: Urbis.

The 2013 jury members:

  • Alessia Glaviano (Vogue Italia e L’Uomo Vogue)
  • Lorenza Bravetta (Magnum)
  • Marco Finazzi (Vanity Fair)
