# Photometria Awards 2026

**Hosted by:** Photometria International Photography Festival

**Type:** Prize/award | **Location:** Ioannina, Greece | **Deadline:** May 31, 2026

## About This Program

> "Coming of Age (18+)"

As the festival reaches its 18th edition, it symbolically enters a phase of maturity, capable of reflecting on and exploring central issues of transition. Coming of Age (18+) focuses on the process of coming of age, not as a chronological or legal milestone, but as a multifaceted condition shaped by internal and social ruptures, redefinitions, and acts of self-determination.

Coming of Age (18+)" provides a framework for reflection on the fragility, ambivalence, and boldness that accompany the transition to adulthood, prompting the audience to consider whether this constitutes a stable state or a constantly renegotiable condition.
