For the TTA Award each Photographer will be able to participate with one or more portfolios or stories, composed of the images and a synopsis, which can be a real “travel diary” or a story that accompanies the use of the images, or a portfolio series that has a semantic binder (place, style, subject), which helps to understand the meaning of the journey lived or human experiences, the lessons of life or the fascination of places or travel companions. This year is possible to partecipate also with Syntographic stories (created with AI software), for the new section dedicated to Imaginary Tales.

By July 31st 2024 the Jury will choose the 50 authorial series that will be the basis for the various rewards, and the 10 Syntographic stories (created with AI software) for the new section dedicated to Imaginary Tales.
By September 15th, 2024, the authors of the selected projects will be contacted by the organizers and their participation will be finalized and confirmed.
The reproduction rights of the images remain with the Authors, who transfer to the organizers (and to all the partner realities) only the rights of use for the publication on the reference site of the initiative www.traveltalesaward.com/, on the partners’ publications, on the Social channels (Facebook, Instagram etc.), on the printed volumes and for the eventual exhibitions of the selected images, as well as for all the communication linked and exclusively concerning the project.
Some stories may be published in preview on the website and Social Channels, however this selection is not a prerequisite for admission to the Final selections nor to any other form of further selection for the subsequent stages of the Award.
Participating in the Call has a cost of 30 Euros for each project presented with the above characteristics, all Italian and foreign citizens of age can participate.
The initiative is self-financed and therefore only the Authors who will support it with the payment of the fee of € 30 for each project submitted will have access to the project selections.
No project will be taken into consideration if the relative payment of the registration fee is not received, and the accounts opened on the site but which we have not settled by July 16th 2024 the payment of the stories they wish to submit to the selections will be eliminated.
