BBA One Shot Award 2023

From February 3rd to 18th 2023, 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.
