Cross-checked 4 of 4 key facts

Confirmed Our best read Not stated

Good to know

  • +Exceptionally well documented for the applicant: a downloadable English regulations PDF setting out eligibility, submission format, selection criteria, jury composition, rights and prize terms in full
  • +Open to amateurs as well as professionals, and explicitly unrestricted by geography, language, race, religion or gender
  • +Submission requirements are precisely enumerable, down to image dimensions and file sizes
  • +High career value beyond the cash: a mention in the Triennale Milan exhibition, an exhibition of up to 30 works, and catalogue inclusion
  • +Serious, named jury including Alec Soth and Bruce Gilden, chaired by Denis Curti
  • +AI-generated images are permitted if disclosed, stated plainly in the FAQ

Worth checking yourself

  • !THIS ROUND IS CLOSED. Applications are not currently open and no new date has been published by the organisation. Do not plan around this listing until it is confirmed reopened.
  • !The 2026 Open Call deadline was 14 June 2026 and has passed
  • !The live record's amount is wrong. The 2026 Open Call awards 25,000 euros, not the 20,000 in the record title
  • !A reference letter written and signed by a leading personality from the field of photography is mandatory. That is a hard gate for exactly the first-generation and underrepresented applicants LOT prioritises, and it is not mentioned on the landing page, only in the regulations PDF
  • !You must be of legal age as well as under 35, so under-18s are excluded
  • !Submitted photographs must be entirely unpublished and must never have won another competition
  • !The winner signs a contract and two images from the winning project become Deloitte's property
  • !The organisation's own site is internally stale and actively misleading, which is the likely origin of the wrong amount on our record
