BBA One Shot Award Winter 2026

International Deadline: August 3, 2026 – The BBA One Shot Award Winter 2026 invites photographers from around the world to share their vision in a single image. This international open call is a celebration of photography and image-making in all its forms – from analogue film to DSLR, smartphone, or AI. The tool you use doesn’t matter. What matters is the spark of a story captured in one decisive moment.

Each image carries its own weight: some whisper, others shout. Some reveal intimacy, others urgency or imagination. A photograph can be a declaration, a confession, or a challenge. Above all, it is an invitation – to pause, to feel, to look again.

ELIGIBILITY
Anyone 18+ can apply – all gender identities and nationalities welcome. One image per entry, but multiple entries are welcome. Any skill level, theme, medium and subject We accept pure lens-based, mobile or smartphone camera, AI, film, digital, analogue photography, and collages.
