Cewe
From Europe to the world, the CEWE Photo Award started as “Europe is beautiful.” The CEWE Photo Award today inspires people across all national borders to use their photography to exchange ideas about the beauty of our world under the motto “Our world is beautiful”. This wide range of perspectives creates the opportunity to honour the most beautiful of all photos.

The CEWE Photo Award is international and inclusive. It enables photography enthusiasts from all over the world to tell their stories, regardless of age, nationality or experience. As a charitable photo competition, it serves solely to promote photography culture and also generates donations for a good cause. With this responsible approach, the competition creates a framework that protects rights and values photographs. The CEWE Photo Award is well networked and deeply anchored in a community of ambitious photographers, a committed jury and Europe-wide photo festivals.

1,000 prizes with a total value of over 250,000 euros
