Photo London X Hahnemühle Student Award 2025

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.

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 Digital FineArt papers, either at the Hahnemühle UK office or at a Hahnemühle Certified Studio.
