Supported by photo basel, Picter, and Form., the Form Photo Award 2026 proudly returns as an annual platform dedicated to contemporary photography and its evolving visual languages. Conceived as a space for discovery and experimentation, the award invites photographers who challenge conventions, propose new narratives, and engage critically with the world around them.
The competition is driven by a desire to uncover emerging talents, bold aesthetics, and projects that raise urgent or poetic questions through the photographic medium. It seeks to amplify voices that expand our understanding of photography as both an artistic and cultural practice.
At its core, the Form Photo Award is about connection — fostering global dialogue, encouraging intellectual exchange, and strengthening cross-cultural solidarity within the international art community. In previous editions, award recipients have not only received a cash prize, but also benefitted from exhibitions in Paris and at Miami Scope, presented in collaboration with Form Gallery.
In 2026, the award enters a new chapter. Winners will be offered complimentary participation in the photo basel Fair 2026 during Art Basel, providing a unique opportunity to present their work within a leading international fair and to engage directly with collectors, curators, and institutions from around the world.
