Tasweer Photo Festival Qatar has announced the launch of its 2025 Open Call for the Single Image and Project Awards, running from August 1 to September 20, 2025.
This latest edition of the biannual initiative continues to celebrate and support photographers aged 18 and above residing in Western Asia and North Africa (WANA). The programme offers funding, visibility and professional development opportunities through two distinct award categories.
'With the launch of the 2025 Tasweer Awards, we reaffirm our mission to nurture and support the region's image-makers at every stage of their careers,' said Khalifa Al Obaidly, director of Tasweer. 'These awards not only provide financial and curatorial support but also serve as a powerful platform for sharing personal and collective narratives through photography. Tasweer remains deeply committed to fostering a thriving visual arts community in the WANA region, grounded in collaboration and creative expression.'
Participants will have the opportunity to connect with the broader artistic community and gain international recognition, contributing to the growth of photography and visual culture throughout the WANA region.
The Tasweer Single Image Award is open to photographers of all levels and invites submissions of a single photograph that conveys a personal experience or narrative. Selected photographers will receive a cash prize of QR2,000 and will have their work featured in Tasweer exhibitions, along with additional visibility through online and public programming.
The Tasweer Project Award offers a QR30,000 grant to support the initiation, development, or completion of a photographic project. Awardees will benefit from exhibition opportunities during the fourth edition of Tasweer Photo Festival in 2027. They will also receive curatorial guidance, mentorship, and opportunities to present their work through both in-person and digital platforms, including publications and public events.
