Call for Entry - 2022 Global Peace Photo Award

The Global Peace Photo Award is now accepting entries. Formerly called the Alfred Fried Photography Award, the prize honors imagery representing and furthering the mission of world peace. Photographers around the world are being asked to show “what peace looks like” for them personally.
