The 2026 Photo Review International Photography Competition was juried by Dr. Sarah Kennel, the inaugural Aaron Siskind Curator of Photography and Director of the Raysor Center for Works on Paper at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts — one of the country’s leading photography scholars.

The prizewinners – of which there are 20 – have won a prize and will be exhibited at the prestigious Woodmere Art Museum in Philadelphia.

The 2026 Competition Winners Gallery is also live.

Congratulations to our 2026 Prizewinners
