fresh photo award 2025

Now in its 14TH YEAR, the FRESH Annual Photography Award is presented by the Klompching Gallery, New York. Only 5 photographers are selected for this exemplary exhibition, curated and presented to the highest standards by one of the leading contemporary art galleries, specializing in the exhibition and sale of emerging, mid-career and established artists working with photography.

What does FRESH look for? FRESH looks for the very best examples of new contemporary fine art photography. We’re looking for single bodies of work with a consistent vision and originality—photography that is FRESH!

Reflecting how photography is understood across different platforms, FRESH thoughtfully incorporates the three elements of display, publication and dissemination: a 3-D virtual exhibition, a printed catalog and an online showcase.

FRESH 2025 SCHEDULE:

NOVEMBER 1–7: People’s Choice Award voting on Instagram.

NOVEMBER 10: Public announcement of Fresh Award Winners.

NOVEMBER 10–DECEMBER 31: Virtual 3-Dimensional Exhibition.
