The Silvana S Photography Award recognises photography projects that champion environmental and youth causes. The Award was founded in 2020 by the Silvana S Foundation, a non-profit organisation that empowers photographers and filmmakers in Asia Pacific, and believes in supporting less privileged children and the conservation of the environment. The Award is managed by Objectifs.
The Award seeks projects that are artistically accomplished and share a compelling narrative. It is open to Southeast Asian photographers working in their native countries, or based overseas. There is no restriction on photographic genre or technique.
The Award comprises
– an SGD $8,000 cash prize
– an exhibition at Objectifs – Centre for Photography and Film, in Singapore, in March 2026, where the photographer will work with a curator
– Return flights and accommodation to Singapore to oversee the exhibition set up and attend the exhibition opening
The recipient of the Award will be required to offer 3 editioned prints for sale during the exhibition, and 30 days thereafter. The sales proceeds will be shared between the photographer and the Silvana S Foundation. The latter’s share will be donated to a charity of the Foundation’s choice.
