PhotoVogue's Regional Open Call: MENA Panorama
About this call
MENA Panorama is PhotoVogue's regional open call for the Middle East and North Africa, part of the Condé Nast platform's programme of regional calls that follows earlier editions for East and Southeast Asia. The call sets out to champion the plurality of voices from the region, moving past monolithic narratives to show its complexity, resilience and diverse visual languages, and it welcomes work that offers new perspectives and challenges dominant framings. Photographers and video makers may submit across all genres, from fashion and documentary to portraiture, fine art, conceptual and experimental practice. Submissions are free and hosted on Picter; they opened on 21 May 2026 and close on 24 September 2026 at 11:59 PM CEST. Three artists share $8,000 in grants, and the strongest work is presented at the 2027 PhotoVogue Festival with possible publication across Condé Nast titles in the region.
