Call for entries: Global Peace Photo Award

DEADLINE: MAY 24, 2020 ― The Global Peace Photo Award formerly called the Alfred Fried Photography Award is inviting applications for the 2020 edition of the awards.

The Global Peace Photo Award is inspired by the 1911 Nobel Peace Laureates Alfred Fried and Tobias Asser.

The Global Peace Photo Award recognises and promotes photographers from all over the world whose pictures capture human efforts towards a peaceful world and the quest for beauty and goodness in our lives.

The award goes to those photographs that best express the idea that our future lies in peaceful coexistence.

The top five listed photographers will be awarded the Alfred Fried Peace Medal.

The Peace Image of the Year will receive €10,000.

The winning picture will be on display for one year at the Austrian Parliament and will be included in the permanent art collection of the Austrian Parliament.

All winners will be invited to Vienna to the award ceremony at the Austrian Parliament on 17 September 2020.

All entrants will have the chance to take part in worldwide exhibitions.

The Global Peace Photo Award is organised by Edition Lammerhuber in partnership with Photographische Gesellschaft (PHG), UNESCO, Austrian Parliament, Austrian Parliamentary Reporting Association, International Press Institute (IPI), German Youth Photography Award and the World Press Photo Foundation.
