PX3 - Prix de la Photographie, Paris richly illustrated on GoSee and congratulations are in order for Jonathan Knowles and Miguel Candela
The ‘Prix de la Photographie, Paris’ (Px3) strives to promote the appreciation of photography, to discover emerging talent, and to introduce photographers from around the world to the legendary city on the Seine and the heart of its artistic community.
The winners – Paris loves winners! – are celebrated in an exhibition in Paris and Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal images are immortalised in print in the high-quality, full-colour Px3 Annual Book.
The jury modestly comprises ‘leading editors, publishers, curators, gallery owners, consultants, creative directors and art directors’ and Px3 brings ‘the best of photography from around the globe to Paris’. We love it.
The PX3 Award is presented in the following categories: Advertising, Books and Book Proposals, Press, Fine Art, Nature and Portraiture.
In 2012 our congratulations are in order for Jonathan Knowles (Photographer of Year) for ‘Liquid Beauty’ and Miguel Candela (Best New Talent) for his ‘Brothels’ series.
