Photo London x Hahnemühle Student Award 2025
Award Overview
Launched in 2023, the Photo London x Hahnemühle Student Award is an exciting opportunity for students enrolled in photography degrees at UK universities. The aim of the award is to bring developing photographers’ portfolios to international attention and support early-career talent within the industry.
Now in its third year, this initiative builds on Photo London’s ongoing commitment to supporting and investing in emerging photographic artists, which is evident in the Fair’s Discovery section and through the Photo London x Nikon Emerging Photographer of the Year Award.
How It Works
Faculty members at UK universities offering photography courses are invited to nominate students from these courses. The nominated students are then invited to propose a specific Hahnemühle paper that would best suit the printing of their work. The award’s Judging Panel – comprising a group of experienced and engaged industry experts – will then shortlist up to 10 nominated artists whose work will be showcased at Photo London (15 – 18 May 2025). The panel selects one overall winner who is announced at a special ceremony at the Fair on the Saturday (17 May 2025).
The Prize
In addition to reaching an international audience by presenting their work at Photo London, the shortlisted artists will be invited to one of Hahnemühle’s UK-certified print studios to oversee the production of their exhibition prints. All shortlisted artists will receive VIP passes for the Fair and travel to the Fair for the special ceremony on Saturday 17 May 2025, where the winning artist will be announced.
The winner will receive a trip to the Hahnemühle mill in Germany and the printing of 5-10 artworks on their preferred Hahnemühle papers, either at the Hahnemühle UK office or at a Hahnemühle Certified Studio.
