You don't just take pictures — you keep the record. This year, let all of India see the truth the way you frame it.
Photojournalism holds a country accountable to what actually happened — the moment that would otherwise be argued away, the face behind a headline. The WallMag PhotoJournalism Photography Awards 2026 exist to put that vantage point where it belongs: in front of the whole country, alongside the photojournalists documenting India today.
This isn't a submission you send into a void. It's a place among peers — creators judged next to creators, with a real shot at being seen.
How the judging works
Every entry is judged on two tracks at once: the WallMag community, whose votes surface the work that moves people, and an industry-expert jury that weighs craft, story and originality. From those two tracks we shortlist the Top 100 finalists, and from the finalists, the Top 3 winners.
What every entrant gets
- Honest judging and feedback on your work
- Wide exposure across WallMag's audience
- A participation certificate
What winners receive
- A Cover Story Feature in WallMag Creator Magazine
- INR 5,000 in partner brand discounts & coupons

Top 100 finalists receive a finalist certificate, INR 2,000 in partner-brand perks, and a Top 100 mention in WallMag Creator Magazine.
