Award process

The Prix Pictet aims to uncover photographs that communicate important messages about global environmental and social issues within the broad theme of sustainability. In arriving at their final decision on the award, the judges make no distinction between photographs of different genres or photographic mediums. There are no specific criteria with respect to the age, nationality, or professional status.
01. Entry

Each nominator proposes between one and five photographers. Nominated photographers are invited to submit their work for consideration by the independent jury.

02. Selection

The independent jury creates a shortlist of twelve photographers based on artistic and photographic merit, originality in conception and/or execution, relevance to the current cycle’s theme, addressing a pressing sustainability challenge, and ensuring their series is a unified and coherent body of work.

03. Winner announcement

From the shortlist, the jury selects a winner. The winner is announced at a ceremony that accompanies the opening of an exhibition featuring the work of the twelve shortlisted photographers. The exhibition then tours internationally.
