The Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize 2010 exhibition, National Portrait Gallery
The Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize exhibition 2010 entry period is now closed and the submissions are with the judges to decide the winner of the £12,000 prize. The judging panel for 2010 prize includes:
Michael Bracewell, Writer and novelist
Jillian Edelstein, Photographer
Lucy Davies, Photography Critic, The Daily Telegraph,
Picture Editor, Sunday Telegraph SEVEN Magazine
Sandy Nairne, Director, National Portrait Gallery (Chair)
Terence Pepper, Curator of Photographs, National Portrait
Gallery
The winners and exhibition finalists were notified on the 25th August 2010, but we’ll have to wait until the exhibition opens at the National Portrait Gallery, London, from the 11th November 2010 - 20th February 2011 to see the winners for ourselves.
The selected exhibition will then go on tour to The Sunderland Museum and Winter Gardens from 16th April to the 26th June 2011, followed by one more venue, which has yet to be announced.
While this year’s competition is out of your hands, you can still get snapping for the 2011 comp. Having seen some of the winners and shortlisted entries from last year’s Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize, I reckon an underwater portrait could be a sure bet to get through to the exhibition. That’s my plan anyway. However, looking at the selection below, I reckon I’ve got my work cut out.
