Aperture Portfolio

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.
