Life Framer has become a world-renowned platform for discovering and celebrating contemporary photography from amateur, emerging and professional artists around the globe. It hosts an independent award, supported by a growing community of creative photographers, designed to champion creative culture on and offline.

This travelling exhibition marks the culmination of the eight edition of the Life Framer Photography Prize, with further shows taking place in Johannesburg and Bloomington (US). The exhibitions will showcase stunning contemporary photography from 24 winning photographers, each chosen by globally acclaimed judges across twelve months of diverse themes. Each theme is consciously abstract in order to create freedom and encourage creativity, and the resulting selection of varied, challenging and meaningful photography is testament to that.

Located in the heart of Barcelona next to the Parc De La Ciutadella, Valid World Hall Gallery is a stunning multi-purpose art space and creative hub, hosting photography exhibitions and events for near-on a decade. With a large and impressive environment for showcasing photography – a spacious footprint and tall white walls flooded with natural light, it’s a fitting location for launching the eighth touring exhibition of Life Framer.
