Siena Awards

Siena Awards is an international photography festival and award ecosystem based in Siena, bringing together exhibitions, talks, and multiple high-profile competitions each year. Over time, the Siena Awards Festival has grown into a global platform, with more than 400,000 photo submissions from 194 countries across its contests—an indicator of both scale and worldwide participation.
