The programme
- About the programme
- This competition represents a highly strategic methodology for competition design, employing a panel of 20 international critics who each independently select three photographers, rather than relying on a consensus vote.
- What the call offered
- Group exhibition at Photo London 2027; written endorsements from world-class critics (e.g., curators from Foam, editors from The Guardian).
- Who could apply
- Open to photographers aged 18 years or older. Single image entry is free, making it accessible to a broad range of artists.
