Professional, amateur and student photographers are invited to share their unique perspectives on the world with the Hungarian and international creative circles.

The photographers will compete for the ”BIFA Photographer of the Year” and “BIFA Discovery of the Year” titles, receiving a $3,000 and $2,000 cash prize respectively, and having their work shown in the Budapest House of Lucie at the annual BIFA winners' exhibition later in the year. The category winners will each receive a $200 cash prize. 

BIFA invites photographers from all corners of the globe to submit their outstanding works - the competition will stay open until the autumn of 2022.

BIFA’s main goal is to promote the work of professional and emerging international photographers to the fast-growing artistic community of Budapest and across the world, putting them in the spotlight and providing them with a great platform to showcase their work.
