Description

Entry fee: 35 – 45 $ per entry (details on the official page).

The Meitar Award for Excellence in Photography will be awarded for the tenth time this year for a body of work that demonstrates excellence in the field of photography.

Photographers from all parts of the world are invited to participate with their best works.

20 finalists will be showcased in a group exhibition at the International Photography Festival in November 2026 in Tel Aviv. The award winner will receive a $14,000 grant, composed of a personal grant of $2,500, curatorial guidance, and the production of a solo exhibition that will be part of the 2027 International Photography Festival.

A professional panel of judges will review all award finalists and will select a photographer who demonstrates thought, quality, originality and excellence in photography, as well as the potential to create a comprehensive body of work suitable for a solo exhibition.

The Meitar Award for Excellence in Photography is a collaboration between PHOTO IS:RAEL and the Zvi and Ofra Meitar Family Fund.

The Fund was established by Zvi Meitar in 2004 with the aim of supporting young people outstanding in their field and promoting selected projects. While the headline “Education and Culture” is wide-ranging, the people and projects we have chosen to support so far, as indicated by our website, create a colorful and varied mosaic.

Please check the official website for further information.
