Three recipients will be selected from the long list by the award’s jury, which consists of Ann Thomas, interim chief curator of the National Gallery of Canada; artists Angela Grauerholz and Deanna Pizzitelli; and independent curator Erandy Vergara.
Each winner receives a cash prize of $10,000 and is featured in a group exhibition at the Gladstone Hotel, during the Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival in Toronto. A second exhibition will follow in September at the Canadian Photography Institute PhotoLab, located at the National Gallery.
