14th PHODAR Biennial Series Awards Competition

About the Competition

  • The 14th edition of the PHODAR Biennial is inspired by the theme "Traces Remain", borrowing its title from a novel by Bulgarian writer Pavel Vezhinov.

  • Drawing from Susan Sontag's reflections on photography, the competition explores photographs as traces of reality and markers of time, inviting photographers to examine memory, history, personal archives, social change, landscapes, and the lasting marks left by people, events, and experiences.

  • Participants are encouraged to present meaningful visual narratives that explore what societies and individuals preserve, erase, remember, or forget.
