Viviane Esders Prize 2024
Territory: Europe
Theme: Open
Eligibility: 60 years and older
Entry Fees: Free
Prize: Cash Prize
A prize that each year rewards the career of an independent professional European photographer over sixty years of age, always looking for a creative approach.

A major player in the world of photography, Viviane Esders is pursuing her commitment by creating this eponymous prize.

The prize rewards a career that has already been recognised, but whose importance now deserves to be highlighted and included more clearly in the history of photography.

Each year, a prestigious jury will select five nominees, including one winner.

The prize will reward the winner with an exceptional financial award of €60,000 from Viviane Esders.

The jury, consisting of personalities from the world of art and culture, accompanies Viviane Esders in choosing the five nominated photographers and the winner from among the applications.

Since the 1980s, Viviane Esders, gallery owner, photography expert and collector has devoted her career to defending, supporting and revealing photographers from all over the world. After an international career that took her to the United States, Russia and China she continues her commitment by creating the Prix Viviane Esders.

The Prix Viviane Esders honors each year the work of a professional European photographer over 60 years old, independent and engaged in a creative process.

It rewards photographers whose work over a period of forty years or more deserves to be highlighted.

It underlines the look and the itinerary of a life, that of photographers, these creators whose medium has been tirelessly present alongside Viviane Esders. It thus brings together two complementary and inseparable life paths, that of its initiator, dedicated to discovering and making people love photography, and that of a photographer devoted to the constant pursuit of his practice.

This demanding discipline by its particular nature sometimes isolates these authors. It is then necessary to give them a new radiation.

The Abstract Image
The Abstract Image highlights the transformative power of abstraction in photography, allowing us to break free from reality and explore the myriad possibilities within non-representational states.

Wintertime
When temperatures drop and our outdoor surroundings become more silent, still and dormant we look to our interior spaces to find warmth and comfort.

Images of the bare trees, the snow covered mountains and plains, details of the landscap

The Abstract Image
An abstract photograph draws away from that which is realistic or literal. It draws away from natural appearances and recognizable subjects in the actual world. Some people even say it departs from true meaning, existence, and reality itself. It stands apart from the concrete whole with its purpose instead depending on conceptual meaning and intrinsic form.' John Suler Praxis Gallery seeks the submission of photographic works that explore the world through an abstracted lens; uti
