(English version only)

In June 2021 Fundación MAPFRE is launching the 1st edition of the KBr Photo Award, a biennial international prize that reaffirms the Fundación’s support for artistic creation. This support takes the form of promoting the winning photographer on a national and international level and furthering their career with a cash prize, an exhibition and
an associated catalogue.
The KBr Photo Award is open to Spanish and non-Spanish photographers aged over 18 who will produce a new photographic project or complete an already undertaken one, both previously unpublished and which have not been entered for any other similar competition.

The prize is 25,000 Euros. In addition, Fundación MAPFRE will organize and present an exhibition in Espai 2 at the KBr Fundación MAPFRE Barcelona Photo Center in February 2023. The exhibition will present the results of the prize-winning project and Fundación will publish an accompanying catalogue.
The winner will be chosen by an international jury comprising 4 leading figures in the art world, in addition to the photography chief curator of Fundación MAPFRE and will announce their decision in November 2021.
