 Four photographers have been shortlisted for the £12,000 Photographic Portrait Prize, the major international photography award. This is the fourth year of the National Portrait Gallery's Photographic Portrait Prize, which has already firmly established itself as the leading showcase for new talent in portrait photography.
The judges have selected 60 portraits for the exhibition by 58 photographers from 5, 065 prints entered by 2, 021 photographers who submitted from around the world. The exhibition will run from 8 November 2006 -18 February 2007 at the National Portrait Gallery.
The Photographic Portrait Prize 2006 will showcase the work of some of the most talented emerging young photographers, alongside that of established professionals, photography students and gifted amateurs. Selected anonymously from an open competition, the international mix of entrants reflects the diversity of styles and approaches to the portrait genre, encompassing editorial, advertising and fine art images.
As well as the first-prize winner and runners-up, this year's exhibition will feature The Deloitte Commission, a special award acknowledging an outstanding portrait taken by an exhibitor aged between 18 and 25 that includes the opportunity to undertake a portrait commission for Deloitte and the National Portrait Gallery.
