In 2018 we asked the public to nominate women photographers that they felt deserved more recognition and by the end of 2019 we had selected one hundred professional women and non-binary photographers who we call our Heroines.
But since we received around 1,300 nominations from around the globe, we didn’t want to stop there…
Each year, we receive nominations from the public and our international group of nominators; from this list, our Criteria of Merit panel elects the Heroines for that year. Currently we have 200 Heroines, spanning many different countries with many different styles and stories, adding to the contemporary scene of photography.
