Presenting: the 2026 European Photo Awards
Great news for photographers across Europe: the Saal Digital European Photo Awards are back for 2026, and this year we're raising the bar even further. In collaboration with Hahnemühle, this edition puts a special spotlight on what happens after you press the shutter — the art of print.
📅 Submission period: 1 September – 2 November 2026
📸 Categories: Wedding, Landscape and Nature, Black and White, Travel and Documentary, FineArt and Artistic Vision, Sustainability
🏆 Prize per category winner: €2.000 in total value
You can submit up to 5 photos total — in one category or spread across several — giving you multiple chances to win.
This year, we've teamed up with Hahnemühle to celebrate not just great photography, but great printed photography. Selected winning images may be produced as FineArt prints on Hahnemühle paper and featured in exhibitions, trade shows, and campaigns — with full credit to you, the photographer.
It's a chance to see your work come to life beyond the screen, and gain visibility well beyond the competition itself.
Our first edition was a huge success, with an incredible number of entries from photographers across Europe. Here are the six talented winners who took home top honors:
Their winning shots are a great source of inspiration if you're deciding which category — and which image — to enter this year.
Whether you're a professional or a passionate hobbyist, this is your chance to get your work seen, printed, and recognized on a European stage.
