Celebrating photographers is an important part of the Don’t Take Pictures mission. In an effort to provide financial support as well as exposure, the inaugural Prize for Contemporary Photography awards $2,000 cash and publication in the September 2020 print issue to one winning project, regardless of theme.

We appreciate the many talented artists who shared their work with us and are excited to announce the 15 photographers selected for our shortlist! Our challenge now is to select one winner from this group of outstanding finalists. Stay tuned for an announcement in May!
