| Welcome to the Aperture Portfolio Prize, The purpose of the Aperture Portfolio Prize is to identify trends in contemporary photography and specific artists whom we can help by bringing them to a wider audience. In choosing the first-prize winner and runners-up, we are looking for work that is fresh and that hasn’t been widely seen in major publications or exhibition venues. First prize is $2,500. The first-prize winner and runners-up are featured in Aperture’s website for approximately one year. Winners are also announced in the foundation’s e-newsletter, which reaches thousands of subscribers in the photography community. The deadline for the summer 2009 Aperture Portfolio Prize was Thursday, July 16, 2009. All entrants will be contacted by November 1, 2009 and final decisions will be made by December 1, 2009. Details on the 2010 Aperture Portfolio Prize will be posted in early 2010. For more information, see the Guidelines and FAQs pages. |
