About No Borders Award
"No Borders" - Photography Exhibition Award is an international competition for Emerging Artists from Poland, Slovakia, Czechia, Hungary, and Ukraine. It aims to unite people through photography, enhance cooperation among institutions and countries, and show cultural differences as our strength. It focuses on photography as art, telling a story about the present time and the people in V4 countries and Ukraine.
We invite artists to take part in the series of workshops, allowing them to meet, connect, and be exhibited internationally by creating an open-air traveling exhibition.
The first edition of the Open-air No Border Award exhibition traveled 4 countries promoting the photographs of 48 finalists, gathering audiences and photographers during online and live workshops and portfolio reviews. The NBA catalog was distributed among cultural institutions, galleries and photography festivals.
Finalists receive:
Participation in a group exhibition traveling to Poland, Slovakia, Czechia, and Hungary.
