About

The SIYU AWARD is open to photographers with Swiss citizenship and/or residence in Switzerland at the time of submission. A professional jury will select ten outstanding works from all submissions. The selected projects will be presented in a group exhibition at Photobastei Zurich and published in a catalogue featuring all selected works. Thanks to the newly established Alois Ottiger Grant, entrusted to the SIYU AWARD, the selected photographers will receive prestigious prizes and professional support. We kindly ask all applicants to read the terms and conditions carefully, as submission fees are non-refundable.

The SIYU AWARD aims to meaningfully support the artistic development of young Swiss photographers. This year’s jury is excited to discover well-edited, authentic work from all fields of photography and looks forward to your submissions.
