Today, June 24th, starts the voting phase for the “VISUAL STORYTELLERS” pillar in the UNTOLD Creators by Visa program. This phase showcases the creativity and talent of emerging festival photographers and videographers who have completed a unique challenge under the guidance of their mentors, Laviniu Lazăr and Mihai Vasilescu.
These future visual storytellers were tasked with two significant challenges. The photographers had to capture photos of DJ’s playing a live set at DjSuperStore, demonstrating their ability to handle live event photography, and the videographers had to capture a video of DJ’s making a live mix and also to create a video edit using materials from previous editions of the UNTOLD Festival. This video needed to encapsulate this year’s festival theme: HUMAN NATURE.
Voting for your favorite visual storyteller is easy and takes place exclusively on the UNTOLD Creators Instagram profile. Follow these simple steps to cast your vote:

The five finalists will be determined through a balanced combination of public votes and mentor evaluations, ensuring that both community engagement and professional expertise contribute to the selection process. Each participant’s final score will be calculated based on public vote (25% of the final score) and mentor evaluation (75% of the final score).
Voting opens today and will remain open until Friday, June 28th, 12:00PM. Make sure to cast your vote and support the visual storytellers who have impressed you the most with their creativity and skill.
