FAQ
What is the Prix Pictet?
The Prix Pictet is the world’s leading photography and sustainability prize supported by the Swiss bank Pictet & Cie.
The Prix Pictet sets out to find photographs that communicate important messages about global environmental issues under a broad theme. Entry to the Prix Pictet is by nomination. The nominators for the Prix Pictet are a group of leading experts in the visual arts, including directors and curators of major museums and galleries as well as journalists and critics. They lead the search for a series of images that have the power and artistic quality demanded by the Prix. Each nominator is invited to propose between two and five photographers.
