Paris Photo 2026 – Premi Aperture per i fotolibri

The Paris Photo–Aperture PhotoBook Awards celebrate the photobook’s role in photography narrative. Established in 2012, the 2026 edition offers three categories: First PhotoBook, PhotoBook of the Year, and Photography Catalog of the Year. A jury of international experts shortlists 35 books, which are exhibited at Paris Photo and venues worldwide. Winners receive exposure and, for the First PhotoBook category, a $10,000 cash prize. Submissions must be physical books published between 6 September 2025 and 4 September 2026 (or listed with a publication date through 31 December 2026). Digital‑only books are ineligible. Entries can be submitted by the photographer/artist, the publisher, or a third party with consent. Application fees vary by category and entry period. All books must be mailed to Aperture’s New York address by 5 p.m. EDT on 4 September 2026. The competition is open to creators worldwide.
