TOTO AWARDS 2024 PHOTOGRAPHY CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
TOTO FUNDS THE ARTS (TFA), in association with the Art & Photography Foundation, invites entries for its 2024 TOTO Awards for Photography from young photographers between the ages of 18 and 29. Entries should reach TFA by 20 September 2023 at the latest.
To mark the twentieth year of the TOTO Awards, the cash prize for each of the two winners, to be decided by an independent panel of jurors, has been increased to Rs 60,000 each.
Only Indian citizens resident in India are eligible to apply (Overseas Citizen of India cardholders are not eligible.) Since the spirit of the award is to identify promising young photographers, you can apply if your birthday falls between 1 January 1994 and 1 January 2006. No exceptions will be made. Applications submitted by galleries or agencies on behalf of the applicants will not be accepted. Photographers themselves need to apply.
The submission should comprise still images, in either colour or black-and-white, or a mix of the two. Moving images and video art will not be accepted.
2. The images should be screen resolution – 72dpi and 1500 pixels on the long side – and each file should be less than 1MB.
3. The set of images submitted should form a series that is presented together on the same theme and edited in the same style. You may submit one or two different series, but each series must comprise a maximum of 16 images and a minimum of 8. Please do not send a random assortment of images.
4. The photographs should be sent in jpg, jpeg or png format only.
5. The photographs submitted MUST NOT carry your name or watermark.
6. The submission should be sent in two parts: fill out an online application form and email your images separately to photography.tfa@gmail.com, with the subject line reading Entry for Photography Awards 2024 - <Insert your full name>.

Unless you have won a TOTO Photography Award earlier, you are eligible to apply again, but please submit new work for consideration. Work that is part of a series that you have previously submitted, even if not included in the previous submission, will not be accepted.
