About

"Raccont'arti" is a free international open call for photographers and visual artists, aimed at mapping the state of contemporary photography. The 2026 edition explores "Beyond the visible: the image of absence".

The Prize invites artists to investigate absence not as subtraction, but as a stratification of space and time. Works should map what remains when action subsides, treating space as an active infrastructure of signs and interactions.

The call includes two categories: Open, for all artists, and Student, for those currently enrolled in art schools or who graduated within the past year.

Winners will receive €3,000 (Open) and €500 (Student). A group exhibition in Castelfiorentino will feature the two winners and eight finalists-four from each category. The Open winner's work may also be acquired by Ente Cambiano and Banca Cambiano 1884.

The prize is promoted and supported by Fondazione Teatro del Popolo, Ente Cambiano s.c.p.a., the Municipality of Castelfiorentino, and Centro Culturale Cambio.
