Open Doors Gallery is delighted to invite submissions for the fifth edition of the OD Photo Prize.
For over a decade, Open Doors Gallery has championed the discovery and mentorship of early-career artists working across the full spectrum of contemporary photography. From Kensuke Koike’s sculptural alchemy to Maria Lax’s iconic cinematic storytelling, and pioneers of new visual languages such as Wysocka / Pogo & Sander Coers, ODG has showcased emerging talents through a dynamic programme of exhibitions, pop-ups, and international art fairs. We are proud to have played a role in raising the profiles of these artists while gaining deep insight into what it takes to build a sustainable career in this industry.
The OD Photo Prize is a natural extension of this mission — a platform designed to broaden our search for exceptional talent and to foster lasting relationships with photographic artists around the world.
This year’s shortlisted artists will be invited to participate in a group exhibition hosted by Open Doors Gallery in London where this year’s winner will be announced. A curated selection of works will be exhibited and made available for sale both online and at the show.
Finalists will also be eligible for a number of awards selected by our esteemed panel of industry experts — including Judges’ Picks, the InCadaqués Award (granting one artist the opportunity to exhibit at the celebrated festival in Spain), the Public Choice Award, and the Metro Mentorship Award with long-standing judge Professor Steve MacLeod, among others.
- Submissions must be in project form
