BBA One Shot Award 2024

About the 2024 One Shot Award

From February 24th to March 09th 2024, 60 carefully selected photographers will be showcasing their works at BBA Gallery, Berlin for the One Shot Award Exhibition. Of these 60, 10 will be physically displayed and 50 will be shown on a large digital display. The winner will receive a cash prize of €500 and online promotion to support their professional practice and endeavours.

Established to give industry accessibility to aspiring photographers and an opportunity to build their portfolio, the One Shot Award looks beyond prior photography experience. Instead, the Award places merit on a photographer’s capability to communicate a unique vision. Technical expertise matters less than the crucial values of storytelling, visual concepts, creative ideas, abstraction and artistic sensibilities. The One Shot Award showcases the photographers currently contributing a fresh perspective to contemporary photography. 

This iteration of the One Shot Award stands on its own, featuring a wide variety of approaches and techniques for visual expression. All spectrums of contemporary photography can be found within this exhibition, captured by a selection of photographers from all over the world. While there is considerable range in subject matter present in the showcase; many of the works deal with environmental anxieties, alienation, identity, ambience and the conscious mind. 

We cordially invite you to join us on Saturday 24 February 2024 for the Winner Announcement on the Opening Reception of the One Shot Award Exhibition.

All selected works will be shown at BBA Gallery, Köpenicker Straße 96, 10179, Berlin
