AIPAI Photo Contest: a new way to promote youth talent and industrial heritage!
NEWSThe second edition of the AIPAI Photo Contest is underway, and for the first time we are supporting the initiative with the introduction of the “Mecenati di giovani talenti” award [‘Patrons of Young Talent’ award]: our way of promoting young photographers and industrial heritage.
The second edition of the AIPAI Photo Contest kicked off in June 2023 at the Musil in Brescia. The contest is organized by AIPAI, the Italian Association for Industrial Archaeological Heritage, in collaboration with DICEA - Sapienza University of Rome, Do.co.mo.mo Italia, Fondazione AEM, ISEC Foundation, Maire Tecnimont Foundation, Musil Foundation, RoMe Museum Exhibition, and Rete Fotografia.
The contest is designed to raise awareness and promote industrial culture, the memory of work, and the architectural, technological and landscape heritage of industrial archaeology. It is open to professional and amateur photographers, temporary or permanent groups, and associations, with no age or nationality restrictions, who can recount, document and represent industrial heritage through a photographic project.
The winning and mentioned photos will be published in the magazine “Patrimonio Industriale” (Industrial Heritage), and the winner of the competition will receive a cash prize of €1,000.
New for this second edition is the introduction of the “Mecenati di giovani talenti” award [‘Patrons of Young Talent’ award], which we support, reserved for non-professional photographers under the age of 35. The winner will have their photographs published in the magazine ‘Patrimonio Industriale’ (Industrial Heritage), exhibited at the AIPAI Exhibition, and will sign a contract worth €1,000.00 with the Maire Tecnimont Foundation to create a photographic campaign dedicated to the Foundation's historical and archival heritage.
This year's competition invites photographers to reflect on, represent and develop one of the 12 thematic areas outlined in the rules. Applications must be submitted by midnight on 22 October 2023.
