VOLOTEA TRAVEL PHOTO AWARDS
Travel photography that celebrates unique perspectives and genuine emotions, revealing the human stories, local character and meaningful encounters that define the spirit of our destinations.
Capture the human side of travel
Volotea Travel Photo Awards invites amateur photographers to share photography works that capture travel at its best.
Across the places we connect in Europe, every journey offers an opportunity to discover the moments, gestures and encounters that reveal how a place is experienced and remembered.
Only great photography makes visible the true essence of a journey and its human experience. Stories that unfold every day and yet can only be discovered through an attentive eye.
We value photography that feels real. Photographs with a distinctive point of view, sensitivity and a unique artistic voice. Work capable of moving us without artifice, transforming ordinary or extraordinary moments into memorable images, and highlighting what makes a place profoundly human.
