Seventy-four outstanding works exhibiting in Bowness Photography Prize 2024
The Museum of Australian Photography is pleased to present the Bowness Photography Prize exhibition for 2024.
The judging panel considered close to 750 entries, selecting 74 to comprise the final field. Artist and academic Dr Peta Clancy, former Director of Photographers’ Gallery London Brett Rogers, and MAPh Director Anouska Phizacklea worked through the submissions to select a diverse representation of contemporary Australian photography in this year’s Bowness Photography Prize.
With large-scale installations through to meticulous daguerreotypes, the shortlisted works canvass sculptural, digital and analogue photography. The pool of finalists demonstrates the expansive and captivating range of creative photographic work being made in Australia today.
- The winner of the prize will win $30,000 and their work will be acquired into MAPh’s collection; the judges will also select three Honourable Mentions, thanks to Colour Factory.
- The artist selected for the Wai Tang Commissioning Award will receive $10,000 and the opportunity to exhibit a body of work throughout next year’s Bowness Photography Prize season.
- The Camera House People’s Choice winner will be awarded a prize pool worth $5,000: voting will commence from the exhibition’s opening.
