Verzasca Foto aims to promote emerging international photographers and to support visual arts in rural and peripheral areas, by giving them freedom to express themselves through the connection and dialogue with nature.
An international jury judges the main competition. The goal is to promote a project that stands out to showcase it among the main events of the festival through a solo exhibition.
Verzasca Foto Festival is a non-profit organization that curates a photographic exhibition that takes place in a valley made up of small villages of stone houses and surrounded by dense, lush nature. An intimate and informal meeting place where participants have the opportunity to share ideas and points of view.
