We are very happy to receive this news.
Bristol Photo Festival is nominated for Photo Festival of the Year in the 2025 International Lucie Awards.
Thanks to all the experts who nominated us and good luck to all the other nominees. This is a nice bit of encouragement while starting the groundwork for the next edition in Autumn 2026.
Big shout to our festival team for making this an enjoyable journey plus all the artists & curators, freelancers, venue coordinators and volunteers! Special thanks to our board of directors for your ongoing support and to all the partners and funders that make it possible.
Lucie Foundation’s mission to honor master photographers, support professional excellence, nurture emerging talent through the International Photography Awards (IPA), and promote global appreciation for photography via the House of Lucie galleries.
Since their inception, the Lucie Awards have celebrated over 172 of the most influential figures in contemporary photography at prestigious venues like Carnegie Hall in New York, recognising their profound impact on our lives.
The Lucie Support Category acknowledges the vital contributions of behind-the-scenes professionals, such as photo editors, publishers, galleries, and photo labs, who play essential roles in shaping photographic art.
