Four international photographers have been shortlisted for the Deutsche Börse Photography Prize. They have been announced as Cristina De Middel, Rahim Fortune, Tarrah Krajnak, and Lindokuhle Sobekwa.
Artists are recognized and rewarded annually for their contributions to photography over the past 12 months through this long-standing prize, established in 1996. This award has become one of the most important international photography awards in the last 28 years, showcasing outstanding, innovative and thought-provoking works from contemporary photographers.
Documentary photography, constructed images, self-portraits, performance and family archives comprise the shortlisted projects for 2025. Themes of migration, community and belonging, intergenerational traditions and rituals, family memories and photographic histories are brought together in a powerful shortlist which highlights some of the influential work shown or published in Europe in the past year.
From 7 March to 15 June 2025, The Photographers’ Gallery, London will display work from the four shortlisted projects.
The winner of the £30,000 prize will be announced at an award ceremony at The Photographers’ Gallery on 15 May 2025, with the other finalists each receiving £5,000.
