PORTRAITS – Hellerau Photography Award 2021
We are happy to announce the sixth edition of the annual PORTRAITS – Hellerau Photography Awards. Our big 2020 venue, the exhibition halls of Dresden’s Museum of Science and Technology which also hosts the collections of the city’s former Museum of Photography, will be revived once again to host our annual finalist exhibition. Numerous solo exhibitions, including a large solo show by the current artist in residence, Agata Wieczorek (Poland), and a number of public events complete the competition program.
The winners will be announced at the vernissage in February 2021 (1st prize: 5,000 EUR, 2nd prize: 2,000 EUR, 3rd prize: 1,000 EUR, residency prize: a scholarship at HELLERAU – European Center for the Arts).
For the annual exhibition, a catalog with the works of all finalists will be published.
