The Three Shadows Photography Award was launched in 2008 with “Points of Impact”. Building on the substantial achievements of the prize’s first decade, we look forward to the new decade to come. While retaining its original mission to discover and support young Chinese photographers and artists, the Three Shadows Photography Award is exploring ways to keep pace with the development of today’s photography scene
An organism is reborn from DNA translating genetic information into new proteins. This translation process is also occurring in the creative practices of emerging Chinese artists, who are departing from the basic medium of photography and constantly pushing boundaries. In 2019, the Three Shadows Photography Award received 534 submissions, and the works of 20 artists were selected for the Eleventh Three Shadows Photography Award Exhibition. These artists are not limited by conventional ways of capturing images, they present lively and diverse visual landscapes.
