The Taylor Wessing Photo Portrait Prize is one of the most competitive photography awards in the world and showcases the work of some of the most exciting and cutting-edge contemporary photographers. The competition is open to everyone aged 18 and over from around the world, whether a leading professional, a talented amateur or an exciting emerging artist.

The winner of the competition will receive £15,000, with second prize receiving £3000 and third prize £2000.

A commission prize worth £8000 will also be awarded, giving a chosen photographer the opportunity to create a portrait for the Gallery’s collection. Serena Brown, winner of the inaugural commission prize in 2023, will unveil her new portrait for the collection at the award ceremony in November. The exhibition will open in London on 14 November 2024 and run until 16 February 2025.

This year’s judging panel will include multimedia artist Pogus Caesar; curator Alona Pardo; writer and curator Lou Stoppard and the National Portrait Gallery’s Curator of Photography Clare Freestone.

“Following a fantastic first year back at the Gallery in 2023, I cannot wait to see what the Taylor Wessing Photo Portrait Prize 2024 has in store. The Prize, which consistently attracts the finest talent in contemporary photography, is one of the most prestigious competitions globally, and together, submitted works create a unique and powerful snapshot of our world today. Best of luck to everyone entering their work this year - I’m very much looking forward to viewing your important photographs.” --- Dr. Nicholas Cullinan, OBE Director, National Portrait Gallery

That long-standing collaboration has created an important showcase for the best photographic portraiture. We are delighted to be working with the Gallery to grow the opportunities for photographers around the world to bring their art to the public.” --Shane Gleghorn Managing Partner, Taylor Wessing
