We are delighted to share the ten international artists who have been shortlisted for the 2024 Saltzman Prize, presented in cooperation with CPW / PHOTOFAIRS New York.
The Saltzman Prize recognizes extraordinary achievement by an emerging photographer, one whose work has recently gained wider visibility and whose voice adds new perspectives to the critical discussion around photography and visual culture. The recipient of the Saltzman Prize will receive a $10,000 award, the 2024 CPW Vision Award for Emerging Photographer, and a solo exhibition of their work at the second edition of PHOTOFAIRS New York at the Javits Center, September 6-8, 2024.
