hard
“AI-generated Images will only be eligible for prizes within that category (gold/silver/bronze in sub-categories, and overall category), but will NOT be eligible for the Photographer of the Year and Best New Talent of the Year.”
Jury context
Paris-based international jury of curators, gallerists, magazine editors, and art directors. Reads for conceptual integrity, visual voice, and fit with Paris gallery culture. The dedicated AI category preserves photographic integrity in the other tracks.
Priorities: conceptual clarity visual voice composition print quality potential editorial relevance
Tone: gallery register conceptual thesis print consideration sequenced art world literate
Avoid: stock aesthetic hobbyist register over processed decontextualized generic
Past winners — text notes
Photographer of the Year winners typically come from gallery-track fine art or architectural practice — single conceptually-strong frame in a broader gallery-friendly portfolio. The AI category exists precisely to keep generative work from collapsing the integrity of the other categories; photographers submitting non-AI work should NOT cross-submit to the AI track.
These are text-only curatorial observations, never images of past winners.
Prizes
Photographer of the Year and Best New Talent of the Year titles. Paris exhibition, annual book inclusion. Gold/silver/bronze per sub-category. Trophies for category winners.
