The BBA One Shot Award Winter 2026 is an international open call inviting photographers to tell a powerful story through a single image. Open to lens-based works across all formats — from analogue film and DSLR to smartphone photography — the award celebrates image-making in all its forms.
Open to artists aged 18+, the prize welcomes multiple entries and focuses on the strength of narrative, emotion, and vision captured in one decisive moment. The tool used is irrelevant; what matters is the story told through the image. The award encourages photographers worldwide to contribute to a global dialogue through their work.
Entry fee: €19
Eligibility: Open internationally to artists aged 18+
