The 6th edition’s Grand Winner (2021)… could be you!
Every day 24/7 you can submit your best photos of Venice. The earlier you enter them, the better, as the monthly awarded photographers will compete for the Grand Prize:
2 days in Venice Italy for 2, and your solo show in an art gallery, also in Venezia!
The Jury‘s decision on all matters relating to the competition is final.
With the foreword that the pandemic may cause delays and variations in the program:
the Grand Winner wins a stay in Venice and a personal photography exhibition, while the monthly winners win their participation in both a physical and virtual group exhibition, a print, and a critical review of their work.
Discover Our Partners – Offering You An Unforgettable Staying!
Because of the pandemic, variations in prizes and partners are possible. We’ll keep you posted.
Hotel Papadopoli Venice by Sofitel MGallery, Hotel Metropole, Hilton Molino Stucky Venice, Cipriani Harry’s Bar Venezia, Gran Caffè Quadri Alajmo, Ristorante da Ivo, and more, are partners of One Day in Venezia. The Grand Winner will be given the best of the local luxury hospitality in 2 fabulous days of vacation in Venice. The lucky (and clever) winner photographer may decide to give the 2 nights staying, dinners, and gondola tour as a present to someone else; the right to the solo show is personal.
(“And what about the trip?” you may ask. Good news! The final grand prize includes the connection between Venice Italy and the closest “hub” in your country)
Giudecca 795 Art Gallery is one of the operating partners of OneDayinVenezia: this contemporary art gallery is located on the Venetian island of Giudecca. Interested in young artists and new talents, since 2007 it has organized several exhibitions and events, far from the logic of mass tourism. In this environment, in 2015 the contest was born, wishing to encourage especially those who consider photography as a part of their lives, even if still with some technical uncertainty (that’s why professional photographers are not admitted to the contest).

And earlier….
The 2nd edition’s Grand Winner was Tatiana Lazareva, from Russia: see her receiving her prize in Venice.
And let us remind you of the 1st edition’s Grand Winner, Annik Susemihl (Germany). Receiving the One Day In Venezia Photo Contest award has encouraged her to enthusiastically pursuing her dream of becoming a semi-professional photographer. A fan of the Venice Carnival! Had her very own solo show with us, and has been then invited to take part to photo shows, and requested to publish a Venice photo calendar of her own by a German publisher. Well done, Annik!
The preview of the 1st group show held at the Hilton Molino Stucky Venice. How exciting!
