In 2023, the Pennings Foundation will celebrate its first lustrum and we will do so by organizing the Harry Pennings Prize. The prize is linked to the name of the founder of one of the first photo galleries in the Netherlands, and serves to give starting photographers a chance to distinguish themselves and to present themselves. The Harry Pennings Prize will be awarded for the 6th time.

We have asked a number of experts in the field of (art) photography to nominate candidates who have been trained at an art or photo academy in the Netherlands or Belgium. From the longlist of candidates, a jury will compile a shortlist of nominees for the prize. An exhibition of the work of the nominees will be on show at Pennings Foundation from 6 May to 24 June.

The jury is formed by: Hendrik Driessen (former director of Museum De Pont), Roos Schouw (editor-in-chief Focus) and Martijn van de Griendt (photographer).

The date of the award ceremony will be announced soon. Visitors to the exhibition can cast their vote for the public award.
