The F/262 Photography Awards are the official awards program of the F/262 International Photography Festival.

They celebrate contemporary photography as a tool for storytelling, authorship, and cultural reflection, across different practices, generations, and themes.

Open to photographers worldwide, the awards recognise work that stands out for its visual strength, originality, and relevance today.

Selected finalists have their work printed and exhibited during the F/262 Festival in Caldas da Rainha, Portugal.

The awards reflect the festival’s commitment to accessibility, sustainability, and the belief that photography belongs everywhere, from the street to the gallery.
