Women by Women: A Global Open Call by PhotoVogue

This open competition from Vogue invites female photographers and videographers from around the world to reimagine visual culture beyond the “male gaze.” The focus is on unique perspectives of women in photography, video, and multimedia.

Women from all over the world, including those who identify as women, aged 18 and older, are eligible to apply. Series of up to 15 photographs or short videos up to 60 seconds in length are accepted, regardless of genre — from fashion and portraiture to documentary and conceptual art. Artistically generated works are not accepted.

The total prize fund for the competition is $12,000 and includes three grants: $6,000 for innovative vision, $4,000 for unique perspective, and $2,000 for a promising young female artist.

Selected participants will have the opportunity to be featured at the PhotoVogue Festival, published in Vogue publications worldwide, and participate in a virtual portfolio review.

Deadline: June 1, 2025
