Photonov mednarodni natečaj vsako leto spodbuja avtorsko fotografijo ter izvirne in inovativne pristope k ustvarjanju, tako na konceptualni kot formalni ravni. Natečaj ni tematsko omejen, zato izbor vsako leto ponuja raznolik vpogled v aktualne prakse in razmišljanja mlajše generacije fotografskih ustvarjalk in ustvarjalcev. Drugačni svetovi tako tudi letos predstavlja prostor srečevanja različnih fotografskih praks, pogledov in izkušenj ter hkrati odpira vpogled v razmišljanje in ustvarjanje nove generacije avtoric in avtorjev iz širše srednje in vzhodnoevropske regije.
O izboru je odločala mednarodna strokovna žirija v sestavi Judita Takáčová, direktorica Central European House of Photography v Bratislavi, David Kranzelbinder, umetniški vodja Pavlove hiše (Pavelhaus/Pavlova hiša), kulturnega centra za čezmejno sodelovanje med Avstrijo in Slovenijo, ter Sabina Salomon, kuratorica in muzejska svetovalka za fotografijo, nove medije, film in video v Muzeju moderne in sodobne umetnosti Rijeka.

A group exhibition featuring the finalists of the 14th edition of the Photon International Photography Competition for Young Photographers from Central and Eastern Europe.
At the Photon Gallery, we are opening the group exhibition Different Worlds 2026, which marks the fourteenth edition of the international photography competition. The exhibition presents a selection of ten finalists of the competition for young and emerging artists working in the field of contemporary authorial photography, aged up to 35, from countries across the Central and Eastern European (CEE) region.
Each year, the Photon International Photography Competition aims to support and promote promising authors working in the field of contemporary photography. The annual exhibition of the finalists offers a unique insight into current developments within the photographic medium, while revealing the creative strength and conceptual breadth of a new generation of visual artists. Different Worlds thus once again provides a space for bringing together diverse photographic practices, perspectives and experiences, while offering an insight into the ways in which a new generation of artists from Central and Eastern Europe approaches the photographic medium.
The selection was made by an international expert jury comprising Judita Takáčová, director of the Central European House of Photography in Bratislava; David Kranzelbinder, artistic director of Pavelhaus (Pavlova hiša), a cultural centre for cross-border cooperation between Austria and Slovenia; and Sabina Salomon, curator and museum consultant for photography, new media, film and video at the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rijeka.
The group exhibition will feature projects by the ten finalists:
1st place – Sára Hecker, This Is All I Had Wished For
2nd place – Szebasztián Fehér, No Man’s Land / I Never Sleep
3rd place – Nika Jurković, Laboratorij: Avtorski prostori

The exhibition will be accompanied by a small exhibition catalogue. Following its presentation in Ljubljana, the exhibition will also tour other European cities and partner organisations involved in the project.
The main prize of the competition includes a solo exhibition at the Photon Gallery in Ljubljana or at P – Space for Photography in Maribor in 2027, with production support from the gallery, as well as the opportunity to stay for up to ten days at the Photon Artist Residency in Ptuj.
