We are delighted to extend our invitation to photographers worldwide to participate in the 2026 edition of the World Masters of Photography Open (WMPO)—a celebration dedicated to honoring the finest photographic talent across the globe. This renowned competition embraces diversity in all its forms, welcoming entries from every culture, perspective, and generation, without restriction on age or style.

Each year, an esteemed international jury of experts carefully reviews submissions, selecting those photographers whose vision, creativity, and technical mastery stand apart. To be chosen is not only a recognition of artistic excellence but also an entry into a distinguished community of creators whose work inspires audiences worldwide.

The awards themselves are of the highest prestige. Winners will receive the coveted WMPO Awards, be honored as special guests at the award ceremony held in Vienna—a city synonymous with art and culture—while also being featured in an exclusive exhibition at Galerie LIK Vienna. In addition, their work will be published in the highly regarded photo book World Masters of Photography, ensuring a lasting presence in the international photography landscape.

This is a unique opportunity to showcase your art on a global stage, to share your perspective with the world, and to establish yourself among the leading voices of contemporary photography.
