The Vivian Maier International Photo Competition 2026

The Vivian Maier International Photo Competition celebrates photography in all its forms

and pays tribute to the unique work of Vivian Maier, a street photographer and portraitist

whose talent was only recognized after her death. This competition invites photographers

from around the world, amateur and professional, to share their vision of the world through

the lens, inspired by Maier’s sensitive and curious eye.

The event aims to promote the creativity and unique perspectives of contemporary

photography. Participants can explore various themes, ranging from portraiture and street

photography to urban life and everyday moments, capturing the beauty, emotion, and

hidden stories of our society.

The Vivian Maier International Photo Competition is more than just a competition: it is a

tribute to photography that captures the essence of life, invites reflection and celebrates

creation without borders.
