We invite students aged 12–18 to participate in the Youth Foto Competition of the OFF! Ostuni Photo Festival.

This initiative encourages young photographers to explore their world and express their personal perspective through photography.

Participants are encouraged to capture images reflecting daily life, environment, culture, and creative ideas.

The focus is on originality, authenticity, and storytelling rather than technical perfection.

Teachers are invited to support students in developing and selecting their work for submission.

All photographs must be created by the students. AI-generated images are not allowed.

Only basic editing such as exposure, color correction, contrast, and cropping is permitted.

A jury of three photography professionals will select 20 works for exhibition during the festival.

The public will vote 18-20 June to choose the final 3 winners.

Awards: 3 images that have received the highest vote by public will be presented with €200 each on 20 June 2026 at the Awards Ceremony.
