Introducing the sixth annual Leica Women Foto Project Award—a prestigious initiative dedicated to celebrating and empowering visual storytellers with a unique feminine perspective.

For the third consecutive year, the award is open to applicants from the United States, United Kingdom, Mexico, and Canada (excluding Québec). Each region will select one winner, and a total of four awardees will receive a Leica SL3 camera, a Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-70mm f/2.8 ASPH lens, and a $10,000 USD cash prize.
