The 2013 Aperture Foundation Portfolio Prize is now open for entries! Check out the prize page for more info and to view previous winners and runners-up. We look forward to seeing your submissions!
Welcome to the Aperture Portfolio Prize, an international photography competition.
The purpose of the Aperture Portfolio Prize is to identify trends in
contemporary photography and highlight artists whose work deserves
greater recognition. When choosing the first-prize winner and
runners-up, Aperture’s editorial and curatorial staff look for
innovative bodies of work that haven’t been widely seen in major
publications or exhibition venues. Previous winners and runners-up
include Michal Chelbin, Latoya Ruby-Frazier, Alexander Gronsky, Sarah Palmer, and Jordan Tate, among others.
The first-prize winner receives $3,000 and has his or her work
exhibited at Aperture. The winner and up to five runners-up are featured
on Aperture’s website, accompanied by a brief statement written by
Aperture’s staff. All winners are announced in the foundation’s
e-newsletter, which reaches forty thousand subscribers, including
writers, critics, and other members of Aperture’s global community. The
winners also have the opportunity to offer their prints for sale to
Aperture’s collectors and patrons through our limited-edition print
program.
Entries for the 2013 Aperture Portfolio Prize can be submitted from
Monday, January 7, through Thursday, February 28, at 12:00 noon EDT, at callforentry.org. The winners and runners-up will be announced in July. For specific details, see the Guidelines and FAQs pages.
