Talent Development

Photoforum is committed to nurturing photographic talent through its annual Prix Photoforum Open Call, artist residencies in collaboration with Pro Helvetia, and membership in the European Photography Platform FUTURES. These programs provide opportunities to identify, develop, and support photographic talent across various genres and career stages. However, our commitment goes beyond these. Our exhibitions offer artists visibility at pivotal moments in their careers. We take pride in providing a platform for Swiss and international photography that illuminates the current trends and challenges in contemporary photography, reaching a wide audience. Photoforum is more than just an institution; it’s a vibrant space where ideas emerge, creativity thrives, and talents are nurtured.
