All the next-generation artists, but not only, are requested to answer the call. 

Following the success of the 1st Award Edition, MIA Fair announces the 2nd Edition of the New Post-Photography Award on the occasion of the next edition in March 2021, which aims to promote the new languages of a photography capable of dealing with contemporary world in an innovative way and addressed to all artists, without any restrictions of age and nationality, who work with the medium of photography.
Winners will have the opportunity to exhibit free of charge during the tenth edition of MIA Fair (from 24 to 28 March 2021), at SUPERSTUDIO MAXI in via Moncucco 30, Milan, in an exhibition dedicated to the "New-Post Photography" II Edition Prize.
