beyond trends, beyond borders
Fotoqrafika is introducing Fotoqrafika Photographer 2026, an annual recognition of photographers whose work was published in Fotoqrafika during the year.
The program brings together two different perspectives on the photography published by Fotoqrafika: the response of our readers and the independent selection of our editorial team.
TWO AWARDS
PEOPLE’S CHOICE PHOTOGRAPHER 2026
This award will be determined by public vote.
All photographers whose work was published in a Fotoqrafika magazine issue during 2026 are eligible.
Readers will be invited to explore their published work and vote for the photographer whose work left the strongest impression on them.
Voting will be limited to one verified vote per person, and vote totals will not be displayed during the voting period.
EDITOR’S CHOICE PHOTOGRAPHER 2026
This award will be selected independently by the Fotoqrafika editorial team.
The selection will consider the work published during 2026, with attention to quality, originality, coherence, and impact.
The editorial selection will remain independent of the public vote.
One photographer may receive both awards.
Recognition
Both award recipients will receive the official Fotoqrafika award title, a digital certificate and winner badge, a dedicated feature on Fotoqrafika.com, a social media spotlight, and a complimentary physical copy of the Fotoqrafika issue in which their work appeared.
The Fotoqrafika Editor’s Choice Photographer 2026 will additionally be presented through a permanent online exhibition on Fotoqrafika.com.

VOTING

Fotoqrafika Photographer 2026 marks the beginning of an annual recognition that we hope to continue in the years ahead.
