These talented Canadian artists were selected by the New Generation Photography Award Nomination Committee - a panel of 12 photography experts from arts universities and colleges across Canada.
"The New Generation Photography Award provides a marvelous opportunity to review some of the best and most exciting imagery being produced by an up-and-coming generation of artists," says Andrea Kunard, the Associate Curator of the Canadian Photography Institute. "The prize celebrates their artistic vision, and most importantly offers support and encouragement for both nominees and winners."
Three winners will be selected from the New Generation Photography Award longlist by an esteemed jury consisting of Canadian and international photography experts, artists, and leaders in the community. The winners, who will be announced April 3, 2019, will receive a cash prize of $10,000 each. Additionally, they will be featured in a group exhibition at the Gladstone Hotel during the Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival in Toronto, May 1 – June 9, 2019 and at the Canadian Photography Institute PhotoLab located at the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa September 27, 2019.
