Travel photography is a genre that aims to document and narrate territories, cultures, people, customs, and stories of visited places. According to the Photographic Society of America, a travel photograph is an image that “expresses the feeling of a time and place, portrays a land, its people or a culture in its natural state, and has no geographical limitations.”

SECTION #6 | POST-CONFLICT

Women on the Front Line
The female gaze in conflict zones. This section pays tribute to women working in war-torn areas – photojournalists, doctors, activists, witnesses. Through photography, we tell stories of survival, justice, reconciliation, and hope. In places marked by violence remain rubble, trauma, and invisible scars – but also the strength of those who, every day, seek a new normal. A brave, human, and necessary perspective.

All participants in the PHOTOS ON THE ROAD AWARDS will automatically be considered for the “BEST AUTHOR” award.

Il concorso inizia il 15 Aprile e termina il 15 Giugno 2025

Participate Without Limits
Photographers are invited to submit their work to one or more sections of the PHOTOS ON THE ROAD AWARDS if they feel their portfolio fits different categories. There are no restrictions—each section is an additional opportunity to share your vision and give voice to different stories. Show the best of your perspective, wherever you feel your images have something to say.

Jury
All submitted works will be selected and evaluated anonymously by a prestigious panel of judges. The jury reserves the right to award multiple works by the same author and, if deemed appropriate, to reassign a photograph to a different category than the one indicated, should its artistic value warrant such a change. The decisions of the jury and the organizing committee are final and cannot be appealed.

Prizes and Award Ceremony

The total prize pool exceeds €1,000 (subject to updates) and includes: Solo and group exhibitions. Publication in catalogues and online platforms. Participation in exclusive events during the Photos on the Road Awards.

The award ceremony will take place live during the International Photography Festival of Tricase, in the presence of the public and special guests.
Winning photographers will be invited to personally collect their prizes during the event.

In the event that a winner is unable to attend or delegate a trusted representative, prizes will be shipped to the address provided—with the exception of official trophies, which will be awarded exclusively during the in-person ceremony.

Traveling Exhibitions

The best photographs submitted may be selected to become part of pop-up and group exhibitions, both in Italy and abroad, as part of the official Photos on the Road Awards circuit.

A unique opportunity to gain international exposure for your work, bringing your photographic vision to ever-changing exhibition contexts—ranging from galleries and festivals to urban spaces dedicated to contemporary art and photography.
