Welcome to our ninth edition of the PORTRAITS – Hellerau Photography Awards and its new theme, “Singularity”. Our traditional venue of previous years, the exhibition halls of Dresden’s Museum of Science and Technology which also hosts the vast collection of the city’s former Museum of Photography, will feature our finalist exhibition for the fifth time in 2024. Numerous solo exhibitions including a new solo show by the current artist in residence, and a number of public events complete our competition program. The winners will be announced at the vernissage in August 2024 (1st prize: 5,000 EUR, 2nd prize: 2,000 EUR, 3rd prize: 1,000 EUR, residency prize: a scholarship at HELLERAU - European Center for the Arts).

Along the annual exhibition, a newly designed catalog will be published.
