Foto Forum Santa Fe 2024 Award

Foto Forum Santa Fe is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that creates an artistic space to explore the current relationship between photography, storytelling, science, and technology through artist exhibitions, workshops, visiting artist lectures, research, and community outreach. The Photography Award expands upon Foto Forum’s commitment to showcasing both contemporary work from established artists and giving opportunities for emerging photographers to find an audience.

The Foto Forum Santa Fe Photography Award is an annual juried international photography competition open to emerging and established artists. The selected photographer will receive a two-month solo exhibition at our gallery located in the Railyard Arts District of downtown Santa Fe and $2,500 in cash and prizes: $1,000 Cash Prize, $1,000 Gift Certificate to Visions Photo Lab, and $500 stipend towards delivering the work to the gallery and having the work returned to the artist as well as an online portfolio featured on our website.

The Second Place award winner will receive a $500 Gift Certificate to Visions Photo Lab, 3 prints in our gallery art rack, and a two-month online gallery show featured on our website. Entries from the First and Second Place winners as well as juror-selected Honorable Mentions are shared on our website and social media.

Entries are accepted from November 22nd, 2023 through March 5th, 2024 at 12a MT, with results announced in mid-April and the show to open June 17th, 2024.

Photographers are invited to submit up to twelve images from a related body of work that is ready for exhibition. This year's Jurors, Bill Shapiro and Alex Harris will choose the winner based on creativity, cohesion, maturity, and quality of the individual photographs. The selected winner will work with our Executive Director Sage Paisner to curate the final exhibition, which may include works not submitted with your application.
