About the Global Peace Photo Award
founded in 2013 as the Alfred Fried Photography Award, the Global Peace Photo Award is the world’s major award for peace photography and attracts entries from more than 120 countries every year. Photographers from all over the world continue to show us “What peace looks like” for them personally.

A great opportunity for any photographer to gain worldwide attention

Moreover, the shortlisted images, plus 320 other remarkable works, have been put together in a 50-minute animation, shown 7 times a day on the DIGI-WALL at Vienna’s main railway station, which can be seen by 18000 travellers a day.
The winning pictures and a best-of the-shortlist have been shown at the Festival La Gacilly-Baden Photo, the largest outdoor photo festival in Europe, with over 300 000 visitors. Under the title A Culture of Solidarity another selection of images were shown in Tulln, Austria and Celje, Slovenia.
