Thank you to the many photographers who have registered for the contest and uploaded photos to the exhibition website.

​

Photographers who have not yet done so should be aware that there is only one week left until the competition deadline, at midnight on August 31, 2026.

​

In response to requests from our photography community and given the challenging and eventful times we are experiencing, we have decided to increase the number of short-term series that can be submitted to the competition from four to six.

 

If you have already submitted your work and think you have additional series that would be suitable for the competition, you are welcome to return to your photographer portfolio and update your submission accordingly.

​

N.B. Video creators: as in previous years, video works can be submitted via the contest system.

​

Instructions for submitting photos and video works can be found in the instructing guide on the website.

 

Cash prizes to a total of ₪30,000 will be awarded to the photographers of the winning works.

​

Local Testimony has acquired a high reputation and attracted a great deal of interest over the years, thanks to you and for your benefit. Investing more effort in a careful selection and submitting original and unique works will contribute to making the exhibition more interesting and significant.

​

We will be happy to provide any assistance necessary.

​

With best wishes for a successful exhibition,

Local Testimony 2026 Team
