The UNPUBLISHED PHOTO 2024 contest – Young photographers born between 1994 and 2006 still have the chance to submit their portfolios through 15 April. The contest is promoted by the Fondazione culture e musei and MUSEC Lugano. It is organized in collaboration with the gallery 29 ARTS IN PROGRESS in Milan, the Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti in Venice, and is in partnership with the Fondazione Ada Ceschin e Rosanna Pilone in Zurich.
Unpublished Photo is a contest that embraces and seeks to attract new, young & emerging contemporary photographers between the ages of 18 and 30. Its aim is to promote and enhance the photographic art form through an initiative that seeks to support creativity without limits. For this reason, the contest does not specify a thematic guideline and welcomes works made using any photographic technique. Now in its fifth edition, the UP24 contest continues to attract a growing number of young artists from all over the world each year.
The initiative was first launched by the Milanese gallery 29 ARTS IN PROGRESS and then taken forward by MUSEC in Lugano in 2020 with the aim of strengthening cross-border collaboration and supporting the promotion of young artists and their work.
The winning works will be on display in an exhibition, held from 31 October 2024 to 2 March 2025, at MUSEC in Lugano – to attract collectors and photography enthusiasts while giving the public a chance to discover new trends and expressive voices in the international contemporary scene. A series of collateral events dedicated to photography enthusiasts will be organized to complement the exhibition. At the end of the exhibition in Lugano, the exhibited works will become part of the MUSEC collections, thus enriching a photographic heritage that today counts over 40,000 works from the mid-19th century to the present day.
Eligible to participate are photographers born between 1994 and 2006. Participants must submit an unpublished photographic portfolio, consisting of 10 images, from 12 February through 15 April 2024 (12am local time). There are no fees, the topic can be chosen freely, but projects must be stylistically and thematically coherent. Together with their portfolios, participants are required to submit a description and a biography outlining their relationship with photography. An online entry form is available here : fcmusei.ch/contest.
The UP24 contest will award the first place winner a cash prize of 3500 Swiss francs, and second to fourth place will receive 500 Swiss francs each. As a further award, all photographs submitted to the contest by the four winners will be featured in a catalogue published by the FCM. The costs of these activities aimed at adding value amount to 50,000 Swiss francs and are covered completely by the FCM.

“I think the best photos stay with you; they’re something that you can’t forget. The ones that tell a story, … that evoke some emotion.” Steve McCurry replied when asked what makes a good photo during the presentation of his new book on 14 November, 2023 at the Amerikahaus in Munich.
Steve McCurry’s photographs reflect his passionate exploration into the complex and multilayered nature of the human being. Of all contemporary photographers, he is perhaps the one with the most extensive archive, having captured human existence in all its facets.
His most recent work focuses on the spiritual dimension of the human experience and presents sensitive images themed upon faith and belief, devotion and dedication, loyalty and faithfulness – basic values lived and cultivated in all cultures and religions of the world. In this opulent book of impressive photographs, McCurry explores an essential core of human existence as well as the universal longing to discover meaning in the midst of everyday life.
PICO LYER is a novelist, essayist and journalist, who is also famous for his travel writing, exploring at the same time both the inner and outer worlds. He is the author of several books on the topic of globalization, and prestigious magazines in the United States have published his articles, including Time, The New Yorker, the Los Angeles Times, and the Financial Times. For more than 30 years, he has been a friend of the Dalai Lama. Pico Lyer was born in England as the son of Indian parents and was raised in California from the time he was seven years old until he returned to the United Kingdom to study. Today, he lives in Japan.
STEVE MCCURRY has been one of the most iconic figures in contemporary photography for more than five decades. Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, McCurry studied cinematography at Penn State University, before going on to work for a newspaper. McCurry’s images were among the first to show the world the brutality of the Russian invasion. Since that time, McCurry has created unforgettable images on all seven continents and in numerous countries. His body of work covers conflicts, vanishing cultures, ancient traditions, and contemporary culture alike – yet always retains the human element. He has been recognized with several of the most prestigious awards in the industry, including the Robert Capa Gold Medal. Most recently, the Royal Photographic Society in London awarded McCurry the Centenary Medal for Lifetime Achievement, and in 2019, McCurry was inducted into the International Photography Hall of Fame.
