BBA GalleryThe BBA Photography Prize is back and bigger than ever! Celebrate 10 years of BBA Prizes with us and enter to be part of our major anniversary exhibition at Kühlhaus Berlin.
All styles and themes are welcome. We are searching for the best photographers from all over the world, no matter your background. Enter today to catch the Earlybird bonus and have your photographs exhibited in Berlin. Cash prizes, solo exhibitions, online promotions + more to be won!
Since 2017, the BBA Gallery, Berlin, has been working with and empowering ‘emerging’ to ‘mid-career’ artists from all over the world. These terms don’t really matter of course, what matters is that you have someone on your side; to champion you and your work. A gallery that will open those ever so stubborn doors of the industry, introduce you to who’s who inside and share your artistic vision with the rest of the world.
The annual prizes that you’ll find on this site may just be the start of your journey with us. We seriously consider all entries for gallery representation - from the longlisted to winners. You can see proof of this on our gallery website, and even if we don’t choose to represent you, we aim to work with you after your solo show the best we can.
As artists ourselves, we get that the struggle is real. Before BBA, we started an artist-run project space and formed our ethos: To seek out talented, passionate artists from anywhere in the world and give them a platform and all the nurturing they need.
