PhotoVogue is proud to unveil the shortlist of the most talented artists selected from Women by Women, our most ambitious Global Open Call to date. This digital exhibition brings together a remarkable group of 150 photographers and video makers whose work explores what it means to see—and be seen—as a woman.
With nearly 100,000 submissions from over 9,500 artists across 149 countries and territories, the response was extraordinary—a testament to the urgency, depth, and beauty of the female gaze in contemporary image-making. From intimate portraits to bold conceptual narratives, from fashion to documentary, the selected works span a wide range of voices, styles, and visions.
These artists’ works stand out for their originality, emotional resonance, and aesthetic strength. Together, they form a moving visual chorus that challenges norms, expands representation, and reclaims space.
This year, PhotoVogue is doing things a little differently. Instead of revealing everything at once, we’re unveiling Women by Women in stages—building momentum toward the next edition of the PhotoVogue Festival.
Additional announcements and new, incredible initiatives are on the horizon—so make sure to return to this page and follow us on Instagram to stay updated. Be sure to continue checking the exhibition for further updates on our incredible international jury, our grantees, the artists selected for the PhotoVogue Festival, as well as the selected artists for the portfolio reviews.
Women by Women is more than a showcase—it’s a statement. A global manifesto of solidarity, creativity, and empowerment, it affirms that the future of image-making is plural, inclusive, and female-led.
