OD Photo Prize 2023
We are delighted to announce that the OD Photo Prize is opening up for submissions again in search of the best early career photographic artists from around the world.
This annual open call is for artists working within the first ten years of their practice, founded by Open Doors Gallery, UK. For over a decade now, OD has discovered and showcased artists working across all genres of contemporary photography. This prize is an extension of that philosophy, which looks to nurture long-term relationships with artists globally.
This year’s shortlisted artists will participate in a group exhibition hosted by Open Doors Gallery at Photo Book Cafe in London to celebrate their talent and their projects. A selection of prints from OD Photo Prize’s shortlisted artists will be exhibited and made available for sale online and at the exhibition. The Winner and two Runners Up will have their projects on display at the exhibition in a more expansive way as well as at least a year advertised as an artist on the Open Doors Gallery website alongside our award winning roster.
Selected finalists are eligible for a variety of prizes chosen by our panel of influential experts in the field of photography. Including a 2,500$ prize for the Grand Prize Winner. Seven ‘Judges’s Picks Awards’, opportunities for our judges to single out special projects, as well as the Metro Mentorship Award chosen by artist and creative director, Professor Steve MacLeod.
