The Award invites professional and amateur photographers to submit applications in two categories – The Professional Commission and the Open Competition – and offers total prize money of US$65,000, including a US$25,000 professional commission.
This year’s theme is Grow-Conserve. As the world’s population continues to increase, so does the tension between our growing demand for more food, energy and resources, and the protection of our planet. How can we manage economic, social and technological growth in a way that supports the needs of today as well as for future generations?
Photographers, whatever their approach, are invited to submit images that explore the theme of Grow-Conserve and tell stories about the relationship and trade-offs that exist between these two forces that are shaping the sustainability of our planet. An exhibition of photographs submitted for the Award alongside the winning images will be open from March 2017 in various international venues.
Important dates:
- August 22, 2016: Application deadline for both the Professional Commission and Open Competition
- October 4, 2016: Shortlist announcement for both Professional Commission and Open Competition
- March 2017: Winners announcement at the Syngenta Photography Award ceremony and opening of exhibition
The Award is free to enter. Applications to the Syngenta Photography Award must be submitted by completing the online application form.
