This 15th edition of the Pollux Awards has been pre-screened by the curators of the Worldwide Photography Gala Award and juried by Julio Hirsch-Hardy, director of the Biennial of Fine Art & Documentary Photography. A total of 439 photographers from 41 countries have submitted 3,505 photographs for consideration of the pre-selection team of the Worldwide Photography Gala Awards and the final selection of the juror. In this occasion, the Worldwide Photography Gala Awards has waived or discounted entry fees of around 38% of the total amount of submitters, most of the cases related to the pandemic and consequent diminishing of work.
