The renowned Victoria & Albert Museum in London will host the awards ceremony and shortlist exhibition for the next five cycles of the Prix Pictet. The first exhibition in this series will take place from 26 September – 19 October 2025 in the Museum’s Photography Centre. Furthermore, one of the galleries in the Centre will be renamed ‘The Pictet Gallery’ in January 2025, in recognition of the Pictet Group’s lifelong support for photography.
Duncan Forbes, Head of Photography at the V&A, said, "The Photography Centre at V&A is the largest space in the UK dedicated to a permanent photography collection, and we’re delighted that with the support of Prix Pictet the Museum will continue to celebrate photography’s many histories and explore its extensive impact on our lives.”
The Prix Pictet has staged over 150 shortlist exhibitions in many major cities of the world with visitor numbers of over 1 million. The ten Prix Pictet winners to date are Benoit Aquin, Nadav Kander, Mitch Epstein, Luc Delahaye, Michael Schmidt, Valérie Belin, Richard Mosse, Joana Choumali, Sally Mann and most recently Gauri Gill.
