Tirana Photo Festival- Winners of 9th Edition 2026
International Tirana Photo Festival 2026 – Offline, Life Beyond the Screen
The 9th edition of the International Tirana Photo Festival took place from 25–30 September 2026 at REJA, under the theme “Offline – Life Beyond the Screen.”
This year’s theme invited photographers to capture moments from life beyond the digital world — moments in nature, within communities, through travel and human connection, and experiences that bring more love, empathy and reflection into our lives.
Through photography, the festival sought to remind us of the value of being present: connecting with other people, discovering the world around us, and reflecting on the things that bring us together.
The Awards Ceremony took place on 25 September 2026, bringing together photography enthusiasts, artists and friends of the festival.
