Verzasca Foto Festival Award 2023

ENTER CONTEST

Verzasca Foto aims to promote emerging international photographers and to support visual arts in rural and peripheral areas, by giving them freedom to express themselves through the connection and dialogue with nature.
An international jury judges the main competition. The goal is to promote a project that stands out to showcase it among the main events of the festival through a solo exhibition.
