Fresh Eyes on the World as Saltzman Prize Spotlights Tomorrow’s Photographic Voices
A new chapter in contemporary photography is unfolding with the Saltzman Prize, which has just revealed its very first shortlist of emerging talents. This international lineup brings together artists whose backgrounds stretch from the bustling streets of New York to the creative hubs of Ghana, Vietnam, and beyond.
The prize, created by Lisa Saltzman and the Center for Photography at Woodstock, offers more than just recognition—a $10,000 award and a solo exhibition at PHOTOFAIRS New York await the winner. Among the ten shortlisted, names like Wilfred Ukpong and Trina Robinson stand out, but the group as a whole reflects a vibrant mix of perspectives and artistic approaches.
Selections were made by a panel of influential curators and photographers, ensuring that each nominee represents a fresh and meaningful voice in the field. The winner, chosen by a jury of photography icons, will be announced in March.
In a world saturated with images, these artists remind us that new ways of seeing are always just around the corner.
