Fundación Mapfre has launched the second edition of the KBr Photo Award, a biennial international call for entries open to photographers who plan to carry out a new project or complete an unpublished project that has not been submitted to any other similar contest.
Through this award, Fundación Mapfre wishes to reaffirm its support for artistic creation by raising the profile of the winning photographer on the national and international scenes
The prize is €25,000. In addition to this cash prize, Fundación Mapfre will produce and organise an exhibition at its two sites (Barcelona and Madrid), which will showcase the results of the winning project. Together with the exhibition, Fundación Mapfre will also publish a catalogue.
The judging panel for the prize comprises four prominent members of the art world: Michael Mack, editor (London); Alona Pardo, curator of the Barbican Art Gallery (London); Valentín Roma, director of La Virreina Centre de la Imatge (Barcelona); and Elisabeth Sherman, chief curator and director of exhibitions and collections at the International Center of Photography -ICP- (New York). It also includes Carlos Gollonet, chief curator of photography at Fundación Mapfre.
