Announcing the launch of the sixth annual Leica Women Foto Project Award, a distinguished initiative that celebrates and empowers visual storytellers through a unique feminine perspective in photography. This year’s theme is Unity Through Diversity. We invite applicants to submit a photo essay, created with any camera make or model, that explores the significance of connection in times of division.

For the third consecutive year, the award is open to applicants from the United States, United Kingdom, Mexico, and Canada (excluding Québec). One winner from each region will have the chance to receive a Leica SL3 camera set and a $10,000 USD.

Leica Women Foto Project Award recipients will be determined by a panel of notable judges based on quality of photography, sophistication of project, and a dedication to the medium of photography.

The theme of this year's award is “Unity Through Diversity” expressed through the feminine perspective. Submit 10 images made between 2020 – 2023. Submissions can be made on any camera make and model. Owning a Leica camera is NOT required. Smartphone photography is NOT allowed. Applications will be judged by three categories Quality of Photography, Dedication to the Medium, and Sophistication of Project. Additional terms, conditions and application requirements apply.
